Dayum its hard getting a hold of Joey!

here is my rough mix.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9085211/epic.mp3

I havent really done alot eq wise yet (because im still learning eq techniques and eq is my weakest area) Other than that I think it sounds half way decent so far. I would love any feedback or constructive criticism.

 

[fox3763]

Sorry, forgot to say, no editing was done to this, just mixing. There is quite a bit of editing to do on this.

that already sounds better than my mix!
has more presence

 

[fox3763]

thanks man a few of your files didnt work for me for some reason like the sub drop and the left overhead. glad you liked it. was the bass track a DI or amped it seemed like my bass sim didnt respond like it usually does for me so i was just curious

Thats weird that some files didn't work, and yes the bass was recorded DI, i can check to see if any of my effects were left on, i thought it was bypassed when i exported the audio files

lots of editing +1

Since this whole thread started to be less about "it's hard to contact Joey" and more about Goodfellas453's songs, I moved this whole thing to offtopic.

heres tempo info

tempo 152.00bpm til 1:33
then 160.00 bpm til 2:36 the back to 1:52bpm

and here is tempo info that makes sense:

Bar 1: 152 bpm
Bar 60: 160 bpm
Bar 102: 152 bpm

Also the midis didn't have cymbals, WHICH IS KINDA BAD AS THE DRUM TRACKS ARE CLIPPING. only keys, kick, snare and 3 toms.

 

[Goodfellas453]

well the drums weren't programmed, i recorded the original drums, and sample replaced the kick snare and toms(do people have a way of doing cymbals too?(other than a china)

 

[ahjteam]

Programmed or not, it still doesn't take away the fact that the drum tracks are clipping. Oh well, here is my mix... No automation etc + lovely beep every now and then:

The clean vocals need some serious autotuning, I just whipped out a quick and dirty version with some pitch correct there and then fucked it up again with modulation effects

 

[Goodfellas453]

ok as far as editing goes im having the drums edited and made perfectly in time, what else would you say needs work?(obviously cleans need autotune)

 

[Goodfellas453]

ahjteam, cant wait to hear it! im at work and dont have the speakers haha

 

[ahjteam]

If downloaded it already, download it again (edit: finished uploading) as I made some fixes to the mix after resting my ears... Couldn't hear the kick or guitars properly at low volumes. I also made an experimental volume setting on the guitars (left rhythm louder than right one, right lead louder than left one), I think it turned out fine in the end. Also should be loud enough now, the Slate FG-X says it's between -11dB RMS and -8.5dB RMS depending on the part, mainly hovering around -10dB RMS.

Who in gods name told you that? I know it's frowned upon to discuss this here, but misinformation like this is worse than people knowing the truth. Joey costs $1500 a song - $500 per day, 3 days minimum per song (however this does include tracking).

Actually Joey started out working $5-$10 a song And he also lied, as he has then upgraded his rates like... 30000%

 

[joeymusicguy]

lol the ideas about my rates are horribly mistaken

i charge $500 a day, 3 days per song (studio session time)

this is $1500 dollars PER SONG. mixing and mastering is free / included.

outside mastering is $400 dollars per ALBUM

outside mixing is $400 dollars PER DAY, 2 days per song if nothing is edited, 1 day per song if everything is READY TO GO via my standards.

these rates fluctuate often.

 

[Teocida]

WOW, and how many hours du use per session?

 

[DeclanWhite]

how 'ready to go' was the air i breathe's album to your standards?

 

[Goodfellas453]

haha holly shit! its joey! what does classify as mastering in your opinion? if the music is mixed but we wanted post production is that considered mastering or mixing?

Goodfellas, you've got to learn the difference between what mixing and mastering is... Mastering is the last stage of post-production. To make it REAL simple, this is where you make all the songs "work as one" + bring up your final master mixdown to "commercial" volume levels. Please note this is a so-god-awful resumé.

 

[Goodfellas453]

oh gotcha so mastering is only after everything sounds perfect already and just to make loud and mesh with the rest of the songs
