emeryrecordingstudios · Feb 14, 2008

Thanks,
Eric

hey dude I am going to post a song for you to mix soon. I just need to transfer it to a computer with an internet connection and get hooked up to the sneap ftp.

Thanks Carvedrones. My mix is not mastered yet so hopefully it will sound even better then.

If you download the drum files it will be obivous that the were programed with a sequencer. I posted all the DI tracks for guitar and bass. On my mix I used Revalver MK II.

I used a ton of compression,eq, etc on my vocals when mixing, this will also be apparent when you hear the basic tracks. My dry vocals sound like poop!

Therer are alot of things I would have done different tracking in hindsight.

I await you guys mixes.

nice tune!
will give it a try

btw, if you put more effort into the drums programming this songs impact could improve by 100%

midget donkeys · Feb 18, 2008

I agree it would be way cooler with better drums. It wasn't a lack of effort in the programming though, more a lack of drumming ability. Tom fills would help alot, but I am not worth a damn at programming them.

The next project I do I want to use a real drummer, even if I just record him with all triggers.

guitar_outro_right is missing, or at least the link.
can you put it here? I'm almost done.

Oops, here you go:

abyssofdreams · Feb 19, 2008

Here's my attempt:

However, the kick is driving the compressor too much, especially at the last part.
Also the rhythm guitars sound crappy, podlike, I couldn't get a better tone for them

What pickups did you use?

If you want the killcode drop me a message

poisoned dreams · Feb 19, 2008

any way sumone can uload the files in a .rar or zip a cant get those files off that site

midget donkeys · Feb 19, 2008

This is great stuff Abyssofdreams. I totally dig it. I like the surrond effect on the verse vocals. And the kick drum sound is much better than mine. I also liked where you added the rthym guitars to the first bar of the guitar solo.

On the chorus I noticed something that is my bad. The high snare drum and low snare drum are out of time for the last hit at the end of the chorus riff. This is not so noticeable on my mix because I did not mix in the high snare very loud. If you manually fixed these couple of hits it would make the chorus alot cooler (I can't since my mixing session blew the hell up).

I used my washburn dimebag with Gibson pickups (can't recall the model) for most of the song. I think there was some of my Ibanez Jem with a Seymor Duncan JB pick up. And a tiny bit of one of my Fenders with a Dizmaro pickup.

What's a "killcode"?

Hey poisoned dreams I already have the files on this computer in two compressed folders. If you point me at a site that will let me upload them I will do it.

midget donkeys · Feb 22, 2008

Hey Emeryrecodingstudios how is that mix coming?

elmoe · Feb 22, 2008

could you please be so kind and upload the guitar di tracks and drum midi? or at least the drum midi.. that would be awesome

broken81 · Feb 22, 2008

Hey midget what effect or plugin did you use on that intro?

midget donkeys · Feb 23, 2008

Howdy guys, I am slow at answering because I bought a house yesterday and now I am moving in. Good news for me is that now I actually have some place I can be noisy and not get kicked out.

The Guitar tracks which are up are already DI tracks. As for the Midi Drums I did the drums in fruity loops and exported wave files to Adobe Audition 2.0. I did this because Audition 2.0 is not friendly to midi (but I hear that 3.0 is). I think I can export midi from fruity loops, but it might not work out. I will give it a try when I get time.

The intro does not have an effect on it. I mixed down the song to a CD, hooked my walkman up to my sound card input and played the song on fastfoward. I always thought that fast fowarding CD's sounded cool.

Back to moving boxes
