creeps.mp3 ( 6.38MB )
Number of downloads: 232well with all the feedback emails and ims i have been getting about my song called creeps ........I took alot of advice about mixing and about the song in general.......lots of great tips .........and as allways guitar players want more solos bass player want more bass in the mix..........some wanted more parts cause it bored them to tears .... I was kind of hopeing a few instructors would jump on the band wagon as well,,,after all that is why we are here ,,,,,,,,,but you cant have everything  .... so thru constructive critisism I worked on the mixI panned the gutiars 1 left 100% and one right 100% put the bass in the center raised the volume wrote a new solo for the intro .........put a solo on the last verse shortened it up by half got the compresstion off the guitar tracks and . put it in a aux along with reverb a dynamics filter and a few other sound aiding tools.............I had no idea what buss to put what or where or how or why.... thanks for all the help with the set up on that........I now know where there are so many buttons cause you need them all but there is still some issues i cant seem for the life of me to get the snare to have that nice pop to it when it should ...............that and the solos sound so tinny no matter how much i eq them.......I dont know why im useing the same patch as the rhythm guitar.......and that sounds fine .........It is the same patch marcus lavendell has for a download.......great patch ......... so im not sure why they get all tinny on me sound great in the room........then sounds diferent recorded  well at any rate here is the new mix thru construtive critisism and as you all know any feedback is allways welcome good or bad,,,,,,,I have seen my share of both

Yep I like this mix - it sounds much more developed than the earlier version.

Very good.
I think you also made the bass work rather good with the drums aswell though it kind of follows the melody at the same time. Vocals should be loud, you got that right, but I wonder how they would sound just a tad lower in volume -------------------- My bands homepage

BTW Ballistic,
couple of things about when you record for rendering ootb. If you're mixing and recording for a cd/mp3 its often best to set your record preferences to 44.1kHz and either 16 or 24 bit depth (basically as those are cd standard). At the mix stage try to hear the mix through different speakers and headphones. I think what you've come across with your car stereo is common to a lot of amateur/semi-pro recording - sounds great through your studio monitors but cack through a hifi. If you can't mix using different speakers another way is to take a music cd you know really well on your hifi/car stereo etc and see what it sounds like on your recording/mixing set up. That will give you some idea of what frequencies your set up emphasises or attenuates. Sorry for going OT.
