Before anybody accuses me of pirating, The Waves bundle was a hand me down from my father who bought the Mercury bundle. Criticism on the mix will be highly respected. :kickass:

Yes, I'm aware this isn't metal. But I find that the only opinions that I run into that matter come from this forum. This is a friend of mine from Downtown, Indianapolis who plays shows often, and believe it or not has somewhat of a large (LOCAL) following. I've never mixed Rap/R&B before. So...

Don't worry....I will. Does anybody have any color idea's they might like? I've been second guessing on the colors. I'm going to test this today on a junk floor tom my friend has. I'll use the colors you guy's suggest. But I will be using the pattern I talked about before.

BTW....I'm thinking of stealing the Idea the guy had in Video 2 with the Random Stripes. Color Scheme: White shells...Purple stripes...Purple Rims.

So in the near near future I may be painting my set. As of right now...Its red....and boring. This is the only picture I have of it....sorry. Well anyways. I'll be honest....my painting experience is limited....but I am confident in it. The only thing I really have to show for it is...

woah....I have kids? Seriously though...the reason I'm siding with kids who have small studios is that I was there 8 months ago. Now I do have my own gear, I do have my own place, But I'm still really cheap because I'm still learning. I don't even remember what the thread was about in the first...

Exactly:kickass:

Producer is a title that somebody claims....I not a title that you earn. BTW....if your referring to me as the person who uses cracked software that's 100% not true. I do understand that probably 95% of all kids that record, that are under the age of 18 have cracked software. But I want to...

I think that some people on here like being baby's about their occupation. Is a shitty carpenter not a carpenter because he's shitty? Does he not deserve the money for his shitty products, even though people know the products will be shitty? What I'm trying to get at is...."Is shitty shit...

Jesus....thanks so much man. Youve really cleared alot up. cheers.:kickass:

:OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG: WHY HAVE I NEVER REALIZED THAT?!?!?! What about vocals? What should I do with them in a panning sense?

What are Rhodes? :) I agree for the most part. But I'm trying to learn little tricks that have to do with panning....not just panning as a rule of mixing. For instance I heard this tom roll....and it rolled from left to right.....I felt like these things where rolling through one...

Lately I've really had the urge to Pan everything. The more I listen to newer Mixes the more I've noticed panning is a HUGE part of production. Much larger than I ever thought. I didn't know that panning could liven up a mix so much. But I have a question.... This is how I see a mix...
