What do you think of this modern mix?

musichopper · 26th November 2009

I did this up a few months back. I spotted some issues with it but I am wondering if there is anything else I didn't catch. Modern RnB, Metal, Rap I guess is the genre lol.

Used Sonar 8, NS10s, gp-100 guitar rack, chandler tube driver with a guitar to make keyboard like sounds on guitar for some of it. sm57 for vocals.

Be as brutal as you need, I don't mind one bit. I am a guitarist first and producer, engineer second. Thanks

I like production, and guitars in general (but in second 46, they drop down and deads a lot, I didn't like that). If your voice mic is a 57, the job in the voices are great. Like Fx in backing vocals too. I've learned a couple of things, thank you.

Thanks, I noticed the severe drop of volume on the verses for guitar. I over did it a little lol was trying to contrast the chorus to make it pop more but went a tad overboard with it. I should have taken some highs off the guitar in the verses instead of an overall volume drop I think. gonna have to keep on learning myself.

I think I need to find myself a condenser or something. The 57 is tough to get a good sound on. I have been using it so long I got pretty decent at tricking it to sound better but it is still not like a condenser. But then I am going to have to worry more about room sound being picked up.

Check the mono compatiability, when I put it in mono the synth strings or whatever they are dissapear completely, not sure if that's important to you?

Also I'm pretty sure I hear clipping, but it's not that noticeable.

Otherwise it's pretty sweet man. From a production standpoint maybe a little long for me and I don't like the delay at the end, I'd just end it on beat.

Take it all with a grain of salt though I'm no pro.

Cheers
