    Final Fantasy Tactics Cover!

    How's it sound to everyone mix-wise? I recently got to try out my mixes on a rented car's audio system and noticed quite a bit of low-end hum throughout each of my mixes. I wasn't able to test this particular one on it, but I sorta went about doing a higher low-cut than usual. The culprit...

    Final Fantasy Tactics Cover!

    Hope you all like :) My guitars became a bit of a frankenstein mess, but I think it came out sounding good at least! Took on various themes from the game and mashed 'em together. Enjoy!

    Question about SSDs and DAW installation

    Yeah anything software/OS wise, onto the ssd it goes - with the exception of sample libraries. Example, install sampler onto ssd - its corresponding libraries onto HDD and just point to its directory.

    Video Camera advice needed!

    I think most DSLRs now have this feature, but when I got my t3i years ago, canon had yet to implemment the follow focus/autofocus in video mode for that series. Most videographers will bitch and gripe about how useless or inadequate the feature is - but you begin to appreciate it, especially...

    Which Drum Sample VSTi to buy?

    Another +1 for ToonTrack. Although I'm leaning towards recommending Superior Drummer over EZDrummer 2, if anything for the possibility of expanding into its own library of kits. But aside from that, and based on your needs - I say peruse their sounds and see what hits close to home, then nab it...

    Recommend me a game for the next few weeks

    Yeah definitely recommend emulators. Have lately wanted to revisit some of my favorites but discovered the other day that my playstation was screwed, and my PS3 atm is indisposed. Got it going all in a jiffy with my ps4 pad on the PC and all is well with the (my) world :P

    Levels?

    Went about recording again, although it's much sloppier. Tracked some vocals too : / Much more loose sound lol

    Levels?

    Began to hate how thin and bright the guitars were. Also kinda missed the Bass guitar some. Not loving the snare...

    Levels?

    ^I was concerned about that as well, wasn't sure if it was best to smash it on the master or not. I went about dropping it a bit, and also slowed the release on the snare buss compression to rid it of that extra sizzle. Sounds better now running through the master chain I think :)...

    Levels?

    Hey there and thanks! ^_^ Here's an update ;) I went about dropping the bass in level a few dbs, things started to breathe a bit easier now. Snare doesn't sound quite as clouded now as a result. I quickened the attack on the snare buss compression and it appears to have found its...

    Levels?

    I guess the lack of posts means that I'm more or less in the ballpark in terms of the balance of everything?

    Levels?

    Am I on the right track? Toms do kinda reach out, snare may be loud but I'm comfortable with it. I suddenly got the notion that perhaps my mixes are fairly unbalanced in terms of levels, and wondered if anyone notices anything obscenely out of place. Also a rough master for the second...
