FAWK MIXING TIMEZ! : DI's & Midi included

[ScootBaloo]

What cab/mic?

I don't know what is making it "bad". But I think a 6505 can sound better before starting to fix things with EQ. It mainly has to much highs and sounds a tad undergained aswell as very... "scratchy?".

Cheers,
Carl.

The cab is a Mesa2x12 and mic is a SM57.
Thanks for the info, I appreciate that,
I will keep those comments in mind as I continue to
experiment and learn how to record the 6505.

No problem.
Try different mic positions aswell. Might need to find your sweetspot.

the main thing letting you down is the guitar tone dude, go check out some of lepou's free ampsims or some of nick crows free stuff too

Yea gtr tones are my weak spot!, Im on PT so I need something thats RTAS, lepou stuff is not, and I have no idea who Nick crow is!?
But i´ll keep digging till I find something Thx! :Spin:

Thanks. I thought a mix of this kind would fit the music.

Yours is quiet in comparsion because mine is mastered really loud, and yours is not. Simple as that.

 

[RichMinerva]

i try and master it louder but it clips like hell.

i really dont know what im doing wrong :/

iv got ozone 4
gclip
an an ssl comp
then ozone again

heres my second attempt

Hmm. I don't use gClip at all.

For this track, my mastering chain is: 2 PSP MixSaturaror, SSLComp, Ozone 4.

I've never tried Ozone before. This is my first attempt, but it works pretty well.

Get the compressor to compress about 4dB, then use the loudness maximizer in ozone to get some volume. Don't overdo it though.

 

[RichMinerva]

well thats exactly what i do but it clips....i just dont understand it

Try NOT using gClip!

Maybe you have to much in signal to the mastering bus. Try disabling all plugins and see where it peaks.

 

[RichMinerva]

thats definately a possiblity. so if iv mixed it too loud its going to clip when i master it?

Heavy as balls, a little too loud on the bass (the instrument) though for my taste. Vocals could need some automation, they are really low sometimes.

Now this one I like.

Can I have some details? What did you use for guitar drus etc?

Yes, it might.

The snare is a little bit... Short, dry and small.
The cymbals sound very thin and has an annoying peak. Other then that. Very good.

Very strange-sounding snare. Too much lows and to small imo. Sound supercompressed too. Is it?

Some cymbals are a little to loud, and the bass (instrument), is as stated, a little bit loud.
Other then that, very nice.

Did some more reamps of this song through the 6505.
This time I used less treble and mids.

Here is a test mix ( with no vocals ) :

I will keep trying to get a better sound because it
should be possible with these DI's.

How are you reamping the signal?

Btw; you got too little highs now hehe.

 

[ScootBaloo]

Nothing unusual :

MAudio Fast Track Ultra -> ReampBox -> TS9 -> 6505 -> Cab -> Mic -> MAudio Fast Track Ultra
