Here it is! Practice your mixing skills!

Exzem, thanks for enjoying my song!
The clicks and pops are due the several copy&paste. I didn't play all the song in one take.
The only thing wrong I noticed was the bass, it enters along with the drums at 00:05
Oh sorry, I forgot to upload the solos.

 

[exzem]

Hmm, yeah the bass sounds weird I just assumed everything was aligned correctly when importing the files.

Try crossfading between the different takes to get rid of the pops.

 

[skidwasted]

Exzem, could you upload your correct version with the solos?

 

[exzem]

Uhm, where in the song should the solos be?

 

[skidwasted]

The Solo1 is sincronized, the 2° must be at 02:41

 

[exzem]

Yeah, I found out by myself was pretty obvious thinking about it, since there are holes at the other lead track

anyway, I updated the mix (same link)

about 90 mins of casual mixing so it's not really polished. And yes i know it's pumping a bit, i went a bit overboard with the compression on the master

(this is with the original files BTW)

 

[iambrando]

thanks you very much

Thanks

the kick was a blend of one of my own samples with the RRkick that someone posted here, heavy compression with ~70ms attack, some crazy roller coaster eq, clipped to fuckery with gclip, then a bit of final touches with eq

snare was a pearl FF that someone posted here as well, lots of multiple eq, compression and clipping stages, with freeverb shoved on the end.

the toms suck ass, i cannot do toms to save my life.

All the drums were parallel compressed (with the compressed track slightly phase shifted with phasebug, it just sounded better that way), and have a bit of verb on them collectively.

I did some nickelback style delay on the guitars (the delay from the right is on the left and vice versa), it seemed to fatten them up a bit as they were very dry sounding

 

[skidwasted]

Cool you shared the settings.
I didn't know about that "Nickelback" technique.

thats where i got it from

Been having a go at this, and I must say I prefer the original rhythm guitars, but I like the new solo, maybe I'll combine the two.

 

[skidwasted]

Wow COBHC, I'm glad you've enjoyed the previous guitar files. They are GuitarRig2 files.
The new ones were recorded in a real Laney.
Combining the 2 will be interesting!

 

[cobhc]

There's no clicking or timing issues with the old rhythm guitars.

Hey everyone.. I don't know if this thread is still alive. I know it's been so long since people were here, but I was looking for a song to practice mixing with my new Presonus 16.4.2 .. I just loaded all the tracks into capture (a simple record program that came with it) and mixed it with the mixing desk. I used compression and some eq. The only effects I added was reverb on the effects bus, I added it to drums and a little bit on guitar and more on solo's. I didn't end up using the ride cymbal and the china tracks. I wanted to keep everything as simple as possible. It sounds alright for a first try.. If anyone's here tell me what you think.. There might be too much low end, not sure with these headphones I'm using for reference..
