Nothing? Well, I guess this mix is perfect then haha. If only that were true! Seriously though, I could really use some opinions on this mix. I know it has plenty of problems!

This is part of a song that I wrote with a friend about a year ago. It is a bit cliche, but fun to play and great for learning more about mixing. Anyways, any and all criticism is welcome! Thanks! Guitars: ESP LTD Deluxe H-1001FM -> Countryman Type 85 -> Focusrite LS56 -> TS808 -> TSE X50 -> IR...

Ok, yeah I thought that was the only real benefit and I only need 8 channels at the most in order to record drums so I have no need to go that route. I added a few to my list though and I really like the Saffire 56, specifically their liquid preamp feature, and also because I've always heard...

I currently have a Toneport UX2 and the mic pre's are shit so I am in the process of choosing my next gear. I've pretty much narrowed my search down to the ProFire 2626. However, I saw a suggestion on an earlier thread that recommended buying a used Digi 002 + an additional mic pre, such as an...

Yeah, the drums are only slightly eq'd and compressed with no other processing and while layering drums is not my forte, I have to learn how to do it because I know that it makes all the difference. Anyways, thanks for the input and the tip on using a transient designer!

The bass sounds odd. It has a bit of a "cheap" sound if that makes any sense. It is really noticeable in the palm muted parts right before the chorus. Other than that everything else sounds good IMO.

Tear this mix apart, PLEASE. I am on the learning curve and making what seems to be incremental progress so any criticism will help! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4920619/Pop%20Punk%20Mix.mp3 - I used Pod Farm 2 with a less than adequate les paul studio to record guitars. - SSD for drums - FL...

Alright, I have been learning as much as I can about audio production over the past year, but I still have trouble with a lot of it. For example, I get incredibly frustrated when trying to mix a song and it is probably because I am just guessing and I don't know what I need to know about EQ...

I just borrowed a Mbox Mini 2 to see if I wanted to buy it, but I keep running into problems with the install. I have Windows 7 and run a 64-bit OS. The guy I borrowed it from lost the install disc so the problem I am having is I cannot find a driver that is compatible with Windows 7, nor can I...

I'm looking for a book that will take me through the entire recording process. I have been on this site for about 3 months now and have learned a good bit already but there is still so much for me to learn and a book would be much easier for me. I really want to find a very in depth book that...

Yeah I mixed it using my reference monitors and the cymbals sounded loud, but when I listened through my headphones I noticed that they were REALLY loud haha. Thanks for the comments!

Alright, this is my first mix so criticism is much appreciated! I have been learning for a few months now and this is my best mix so far. Please give me your honest opinion and tear this mix apart. Thanks. I used Pod Farm for guitars/bass and drums are EZDrummer...

Alright, I am in the process of recording a few songs for the band I am in and cannot seem to get a decent guitar tone. I am recording with pod farm through a Toneport GX. I realize this is a basic setup but I am a college student so I am broke! Anyways I spent hours tweaking the tone, but I...
