First full CD mixing

Mike C · 7th June 2008, 05:09 AM

Comments/constructive criticism is greatly appreciated (both for the mix and for the songs/band). These were recorded while I was in school. Recorded to tape, transfered to RADAR, mixed on a PT HD rig (time issues - I wanted to mix OTB on the school's SSL

). I did some of the recording, all of the mixing, and a friend and myself did some "producing" along with the band.

The band did all these songs in one night. I wasn't the one who recorded them; I just helped out. The vocals were done on another day's worth of recording and I was the one who recorded them. Then I mixed and here we are. Unfortunately, they are no longer a band anymore due to 10 years of trying to no avail. So here is Middleworld's Portraits of Finality, and the last five songs of a dying band:
Frame Rate
Moved By A Commercial
Slow Curve
The Perilous Journey of the One Misled
Conspiracy
(All files 44.1/16 WAVs)

These actually aren't done. The unmastered versions of my completed project were killed in a very unfortunate series of computer failure-related events. The "mastered" versions are crap and have terrible clipping issues. I did make quite a few changes from this point to the final and I know how I can get back to the completed sound, but I wouldn't mind other points of view on what you like/dislike. Maybe the band and I will go a different route through your thoughts (though, there will be no re-recording).

Thanks for your time!

Any comments/criticisms welcome. You can even just listen to one song and tell me what you think. I don't care, I'd just like feedback.

Thanks!

Perhaps giving an mp3 option would get you more comments. I don't personally have much interest in downloading a bunch of 40MB wave files - so as much as I'd like to give you feedback - that sorta comes in the way.

+ one

Ah, sorry about that. I'm just used to downloading at least this size files from my friends. I'll try and do the converting tonight.

Sorry again!
