The download works for me? Also, I'm pretty sure Megaupload only does that if you're downloading another thing from Megaupload at the same time.

But I do agree, a reference mix would be nice. I would post mine but it's gonna take a while to download + I can't mix for too long tonight.

 

[reneisgod]

Yeah you have exceeded your daily download limit, try it again dude.
Id have to split and re .rar the files for dropbox as it only accepts
uploads of around 300mb at a time, so id have to split this file into
3 parts.

Ill upload a rough mix tonight.

Thanks a lot for sharing this! Pretty good song and fun to mix for sure. I really liked the raw tracks, especially the drum and bass tracks. But I used DI's for the guitars since I aimed for a little bit dirtier mix. Any comments?

Really great song! Thanks a lot! By the way the download worked perfectly. @szymon trying to restart your router/internet connection might help.

Alot moreore keys dude! couldnt really hear them throughout the mix.

 

[reneisgod]

Here is my mix although i only used the bass, vocals, keys and mic'd guitars for this, the drums converted
to midi and edited/changed the shit out of them that way.

I didn't use the mesa tracks either i just went for the 6505 with the 57, so this is single track per side.

What is the "Room Big" track? It sounds like it's just a mono room track that's been EQ'ed and compressed heavily.

 

[reneisgod]

the room big track is just a single mic we left sitting
outside the drum booth, its there for experimentation really.

 

[reneisgod]

The cab was miced with a 57 and a 421 so respectively you have 2 tracks of leads on the 57 mic and another 2 with the 421, same goes for the rhythm guitars

rhythm
5150 1 - 57
5150 2 - 42
(same take just 2 different mic placements)

mesa 1 - 57
mesa 2 - 421
(same take just 2 different mic placements)


so for each double tracked rhythm guitar you will have 4 wav files as above.

I couldn't import tempotrack to Logic. Can someone post tempo and time signatures?

 

[reneisgod]

bpm (155 throughout)
time sig 4/4

 

[Djunn]

Thanks mate. It seems that I can't import audio files neither. :<

EDIT: Fixed. I can import guitar tracks almost instantly but drums and such take a long time and Logic doesn't respond. Patience is the cure.

 

[reneisgod]

Very strange mate, but i assure you the files are perfect! havent had any other complaints.

 

[Djunn]

The problem is, some files are named like "Blabla.L.wav". It confuses the system with the dot before L or R and thinks the extension is ".L.wav". I could import them all after removing unnecessary dots in the filename. It also imports with the .L.wav name but as stereo. Interesting.

So here is my try

Totally loved the instrumental as opposed to the vocals, so i just did the instruments
This is my first mix, so criticism would be appreciated

You forgot to mute the tea-boiler track!

...but yeah... you got a rly annoying frequency in the mix... it think its the guitars! Try lo-passing them areound 12kHz for starters!

 

[Schmidddl]

oh shit. you are right. i here that pretty extrem through my headphones.
actually the guitars are low-passed allready, but i will go over them again.
thanks for the first
