i wish i could do better, i find my mix too muddy and the elements aren't separated enough. The drums were rather hard to make sound interesting, midi files would help, but i'm not sure i'll try to make a better mix.

but this was fun!

i think i learned something, at least

not sure what though hahaha

btw. i used the guitar solo from fishmac

I would be very happy for some constructive feedback.
Very new on all of this.

HERE IS THE MIDI
midi.rar

It's track by track 'cause I'm having some problems with my DAW rendering it all into a single midi file.

TYY · 14th February 2009

OK, I had nothing to do so I took a shot. Man, those drums are tough to work with.

The low end is out of control, but I got bored so I quit.

skidwasted · 14th February 2009

Thank you guys for all the work.
The mixes are awesome!

gregerlindberg · 15th February 2009

No one up for a comment on the one i made?

skidwasted · 16th February 2009

Hi there Greg!
Yeah, I liked your mix. I just think it needs more reverb on the strings and clear out the overall sound.
Cya

gregerlindberg · 16th February 2009

More tweaking on the EQ then i assume. =)
Im trying to learn to mix so, beginner as i am..
Thanks for the reply.

here's my pass at it.

s.d.finley · 17th February 2009

How do I open a .rar on a PPC Mac?

skidwasted · 17th February 2009

Hey, where is my comment about Sport mix?

I told him to tweak up the master volume.

UnRarX - Mac OS X RAR Extraction Utility They have a universal binary version of the program.

Skidwasted, so you just want me to turn it and and repost it? I'm confused.

skidwasted · 18th February 2009

Yeah, Sport!

Does anybody know a program where I can convert the piano, strings from wav to midi?

I'm sure this has been answered, but there's no such program. anything polyphonic won't track in a pitch detector. not to mention the inflection etc that will be gone.

gotta record those midi tracks.... keep them for future editing :-)

Cheers,
Don

MarcB · 22nd February 2009

It's the first time I've done anything like this so go easy with me

I give you the "mixed on headphones while I have a bad cold and blocked ears in 30 mins" mix

Clickity click

Colonal J · 22nd February 2009

Hi Skidwasted...

Here is my 20cents...Good arrangement and song writing...difficult to mix...
But was fun...keep them coming....

skidwasted · 22nd February 2009

MarcB, good mix!
I just think the piano should be more in the face, but it's only my opinion

Some reverb on the drums, would be interesting.

Colonal, another good job!
I think you should tweak the master volume up and add some reverb on the drums as well.

Cya guys!

cheers , it was done with headphones late at night , just listened to it on my monitors and it sounds pretty bad.

I've just redone it (still with blocked ears due to a cold) , tried to remove the one note bass and bring the piano more focused into the mix while still giving it some dreamy reverb

I'd like to hear someone pro do this with a few side notes on how they did certain things, as I basically haven't much of a clue what I'm doing

OK... Version 2 by moi , still needs a bit of splishy splashy hi hats sorted though

rashman · 22nd February 2009

Heres myne. No mastering but I normalized it

Raw-Tracks · 22nd February 2009

I thought I'd throw a quick mix out there:

skidwasted · 22nd February 2009

Way better MarcB, but I would tweak the kick volume down a little bit.

Rashman, cool idea! You put the clean guitar with the piano in evidence. I guess you should bring up the bass guitar as well, or add some bass to the snare and kick.
Did you cut-off the keyboards intentionally, right?

Eric, nice mix!
I think you should bring the piano and acoustic guitars more in front of the drums.
The kick is loud and the snare needs more volume and reverb.

rashman · 23rd February 2009

What Keyboards?
I must have missed their files.
