OK, so maybe I'm just being an idiot here or I might just have never heard of this before but are you using the NS10 as a kick mic? I know electronically it's possible but would that really sound good?

I know I feel the urge to make them louder too but I thought I had to resist since we are talking pop here.. but oh well I give in. Version updated. EDIT: Ok to anybody wondering why it still sounded kinda shitty, I made a stupid mistake by putting my stereo verb on a mono track. Also Sonar...

updated with manual editing string noise reduced. HAHA.. editing error.. hold on Ok fixed

Cool, until now I had not heard of this. I will try a deesser on the frequencies first though, before I go through all the rerecording again. I know fix the source but I have exams coming up. EDIT: Also for anybody else reading this. Volume envelopes would work but since I didn't loop the...

Hey I was just listening to the mix again and I think I might have misunderstood what you said. I though you actually meant the "fret" noise as in when the strings hit the fret but when I listen to the mix again now what really annoys me is the sliding noise between chords. Is that what you...

Thanks for all the posts so far. I really had to get more highs in the mix (along with many other tweaks) and so I did. Check out the updated version and tell me what you think. I'll keep working on it but I need to study ;-)

Ok so here is an updated version. I hope I incorporated your ideas well. I'm sure there's some other issues now though. So i'll have a listen to it on my ipod. I've kept the old version for reference if people ever have similar issues. Here it is...

Interesting. I'll give that a try for sure. I gave the vocals some 2k ish boost for presence but "perceived brightness" sounds too awesome not to try :grin: Thanks

Very cool, thank you. It is quite a lot louder that in my mix so I definitely have to check that area out. Also I realized I didn't do quite enough eq on that bass. I'm working on it right now. I'll keep you posted on the updates.

Thanks !! Yeah that pop shine I never really had to deal with until now. Is it just the extra reverb and compression or maybe the highs or something else?

Wow those were fast and very helpful and precise replies. I'll work on that and see if I can't fix the things you mentioned. On my speakers the bass was almost too much. Guess I'll have to adjust my sub (or treat my room :D ) The strings were a last minute addition. They definitely need some...

Hey fellow sneapsters, so I wrote and recorded a song that is not my normal genre, but that's what girls can do to you. I was hoping you could give me some advice on the mixing and anything else that screams amateur really :D...

I really don't mind the bass to me it adds to the song and is unique. I have to agree on the glitch though. Maybe you have just a small snippet of audio maybe on a vocal track? Probably a track panned right :d I get those sometimes. I was thinking about the guitars as well but I think they...

I think it sounds a lot better. It sounds pretty killer already. But we're going for excellence here right :D two things I might consider trying: I think you might have gone overboard with pushing the group shouts back. Might just be too much reverb. The main shout vocals might just need a bit...

just my oppinion but especially when I listen to it at lower volumes the main vocals stick out sometimes. Maybe the background shouts can be more background but that really depends on the vibe your going for. I like the "dive" bomb :D maybe the guitars sound too bright during the breakdown...
