Anyone want pop-punk mixing practice? (mayday parade cover)

[brette344]

So my buddy has been asking me to record a Mayday Parade song with him because it's pretty much his favorite band so I finally got some time and did it with him. I can post all stems if anyone is interested in giving this mix a shot.

Heres my version - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3175304/mayday stuff/when you see my friends master 1.mp3

Heres the actual bands version -

do you have DI tracks? i would be very tempted to get some orange reamping action up in this

Yeah man! I actually reamped my version with my orange TH-30. But i have di's for everything that i tracked. The drums are all midi though because I didn't have my drum set at my studio.

i would be very grateful if you'd upload the DItracks + Vocals + everything else, good exercise right here

 

[brette344]

ok so heres all the di tracks, midi and vocals - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3175304/mayday stuff/Mayday Tracks for UM.zip

Meter is in 1/4 with a tempo of 173 bpm and a change for the ending acoustic part at bar 474 to 164 bpm (and at the beginning I had a 9 count because i was trying to line it up with the original song when I was mapping the drums)

I didn't have access to the best bass so I apologize in advance for that. But post your mixes!

Also any feedback on my mix would be appreciated thanks and enjoy!

 

[Lon]

thank you! downloading, give me a few days (i cannot reamp the real amp at night) but i will post them!

My shot at these nice tracks:

I´m struggling a little with guitars... think they´re are to on top sounding. Damn ampsims
Any feedback is much appreciated. No backing vox yet.

Spent some time working on fixing it, works for me in Superior at the moment, I'm not sure if its 100% correct but here you go:

What's wrong with it?

 

[ForceTheTriggerSucks]

Wish I could attempt this but the but 173 bpm isnt working for me and i cant find something that does. Tried nudging the tracks around endlessly but nothing

 

[aeonix]

Seems to work fine for me, 173 BPM time signature 1/4, the first midi drum note should start at around 5 bars (of 1/4 bars) after the start of the Wave files IIRC.

hey man sounds pretty good! I think possibly some of the drums are hitting at wrong times? but overall I'd maybe compress those vocals a little more. maybe eq them so they sit on top of the mix better and a bit brighter. Also guitars could use maybe a boost somewhere in the mid frequency and brought down a tad and more extreme of a high pass filter.

yeah im not sure whats wrong I downloaded and put it into a new session and it works for me. what seems to be happening when you try?

sorry man idk what it could be i consolidated everything from 0 in my session so it would all line up

 

[ForceTheTriggerSucks]

managed to make it happen by using 188 and nudging the track around for an hour lol i have no idea what has been going on lately but everytime i download a raw session from somebody, SOMETHING is horribly messed. Usually only for me lol
