Here is a song of an album that I'm recording.
This is only a preliminary (quick) mix that was used for Myspace, not the final mix and mastering.
It isn't the kind of sound that people like in here but you can listen to something that's being done in the studio

The keyboards could benefit from less cheesy, less 1997 sounding sounds, but that's not your problem really!
Musically, this is one of the best tracks I've ever heard here on this forum. Just needs more autotune on the clean vocals for a more sterile effect, I think! Unless they wanna go for this post-rock-emo kind of vibe ...
Let me know when the demo/cd is available!
yowzers
how the hell did a get the snare sounding that meaty!
Hey - Metal with just one Kickdrum? Awwwhh.... I always hate that
Eddy, your new studio looks awesome! Every full-time engineer/producer can just dream about having a pair of S3A as an "alternative system"
I like my S3A, I can agree on the low-mid issue, but I am not sure if it is a combination with the room/console... In my case. But I do love them, though it is difficult to mix fast with them, cause I am often find me fiddling around with micro-ajustments - switching to a more lo-fi monitoring system enables me to mix way faster - just doing some basic tweaks to make it sound right instead of finetuning a compressors ratio from 1.42 to 1.44, hehe!
Regarding that Herman Miller Chair:
Because I am sitting up to 70h here I have no problems to throw 1.5k EUR on a chair - the one I have was about 500 bucks, is about 8 years old now and I am not that happy. My back is not that happy!
How is that Herman Miller Chair? Is he just cool for the eyes or is he cool for your back as well?
Sorry for beeing OT!
Cheers,
Brandy
Here is the audio sample from the pre production I promised.
Remember that this recording is all band members playing at the same time (except vocals), and there are no samples in the drums or reamping, or anything extraordinary on the mix.
Almost all in the mix is BF76s and SSL Channels (mostly for Gates and EQs) all mixed while they were recording.
I then pass everything through my mix bus processing

OMFG. i just read this whole thread.
Eddy you are my hero! That studio is 100% amazing. I didnt see a final cost though. Im very interested in what something like that costs!
I used one some years ago in the company I worked. It was the best chair my ass ever sat on.How is that Herman Miller Chair?
