I was just in the chat talking to Pedja, and he said he wanted to hear what I've been working on..
So here it is for everyone to laugh at I started mixing their first song today, and although I'm not finished it's progressing well.. I'll include a clip of one of their songs before I started mixing (they added some effects on some tracks but...), so you can hear what I have to work with and how I've improved it (hopefully) Before mix: demorecording.mp3 ( 1.28MB ) Number of downloads: 357 After mix: overtest.mp3 ( 9.61MB ) Number of downloads: 399 After mix 2: overtest_2.mp3 ( 5.76MB ) Number of downloads: 298 After mix 3: overtest_4.mp3 ( 9.61MB ) Number of downloads: 335 Final mix (at least for now): Overthrow___Allegiance_To_The_Crown.mp3 ( 9.61MB ) Number of downloads: 442 Hope you like both the song and what I've done so far Oh, and constructive critisism, suggestions, praise () etc., are welcome! Edit: Added another mp3, with slightly different mix. Hopefully it sounds even better Edit: Added even another mp3, with a better snare, better vocals and overall better volume adjustment between tracks. I'm only using the Logic and Cubase built in plug-ins, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it any better Comments and suggestions are welcome though, if you like it or think something should be done differently Edit: Added the "final mix", and this one sounds pretty good if I may say so myself The guys in the band loved it, so I must've done something right I'll start a new song tomorrow, and let this one rest. But by all means, if you have any suggestions to make it better.. Let me know This post has been edited by audiopaal: Sep 21 2009, 08:20 PM |

Great job! You really know what you're doing. I dont know much bout this music, but the snare is a little bit "poppy" or dry, but maybe it shall be this way??? It seems that U put the vocals a little bit more in the foreground in the last mix, which i prefer. Other songs in this genre that i've heard, put more focus on the guitar than the vocals which I believe is wrong. Please put up that blog !!!! I have a pretty decent recording equipment and it will be fun to share some experiences !!!!
