    Some thoughts on this mix

    Give that snare some love end! Also, the guitar editing seems really weird to me. I'm all for building riffs and slipping everything into place, but you have to make it at least some sort of human.

    Having trouble separating this mix. How do?

    Also, I just realized that the reason for the lack of distinguishable transient on the snare (as well as the rest of the shells) is due to me having the attack of my drum bus compression being set WAY too fast. Fixing that now as well.

    Having trouble separating this mix. How do?

    I purposely left that out in an effort to not get flack. Bass for now is the worst of the worse... Halion PickBass:x. Real bass wasn't an option as I refused to record a Gretsch half scale bass with 6 month old strings on it. I'm not sure if it's the way I'm going about recording bass, or if...

    The Learning Curve

    The best thing to do is to sit down, start mixing a song, and as soon as you run into your first problem, or the first thing that you need to know, use this... http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=007593470310830667409:4qw46y8lnza Search function for the forum. I can honestly say that as a...

    Having trouble separating this mix. How do?

    I'm pretty new to production, and I'm having a ridiculous amount of trouble making room for everything in this mix via eq. How do? Guitars are LePou, drums are Superior with a Slate kick, interface is a Saffire 6, and the vocals were recorded with an AT2035. Not working with a whole lot, but I'm...

    Pick this apart!

    This is a band I'm working on right now. I'm having tons and tons of trouble with the drums, especially the snare. Drums are Superior with a Slate Kick, guitars are LePou, and vocals were recorded with an AT2020. DAW is Cubase 5, interface is a Saffire 6. Not working with a lot here, but I'm...

    4 Guitars Problem!

    I guess I was about two minutes late on that response, haha.

    4 Guitars Problem!

    The reason for that is that copying and pasting a guitar track is not the same as doubling it. It's the same part, happening twice in the recording. All that you'd get from doing that is more volume, and some really bad phase issues. I'm not really for quad tracking, but if you're going to do...

    Another Killswitchy song but again, I think I may have passed my mixing plateau! :D

    Guitars are a bit grainy, but the fit well. Vocalist has awesome potential!

    Mid tracking. Unmixed and unpleased.

    Originally, I thought that this was sounding okay while I was tracking. A day and a set of fresh ears later, not so much. I'm getting ready to start mixing soon and would really appreciate any input you guys could give me. I'm relatively new to the craft and have followed this forum for a short...

    Asking Alexandria - Reckless and Relentless

    They did 31k in the first week and made it to number 9 on The Billboard 200! I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that this is the biggest first week a Joey produced album has ever had. Congrats Yoseph and Nick!

    bands YOU think joey should produce!

    I think it would be awesome to see him produce some pop. Something radio as hack.

    Bands that don't come prepared.

    A lot of times, it's not always the bands that don't have it together. Sometimes labels and management push the band to pick up an unrealistic tour schedule. It would be awesome if every band had a month off to write before going in to the studio, and a month off after recording to rehearse the...
