mix suggestions, limited gear

alexhornbake · 19th October 2004, 08:38 PM

Ok, So this was tracked entirely in my 18x12 bedroom (no treatment). Recorded through a FMR RNP, and a small behringer eurorack mixer, into a ESI waveterminal (4 inputs), into a PC running Cubase SX. Mic Selection: pair earthworks Tc30k's, Akg d112, a couple sennheiser e815s ($100 for 3 of them...).

Mixed in the box, L2 on the mix bus.
Monitoring through a pair of Acoustic Research bookshelf speakers.

Any suggestions on the mix? I cheated and used Drumagog (VST sound replacer) on kick and snare with about 50% sample 50% original.

Thanks,

Alex

The kick is ducking the bus compressor around entire mix - maybe you wanted this. Sounds cool if not "natural"...

Maybe use a multiband comp on the bus if you want less ducking effect, or turn down the kick or remove some bass from it...

LONG LIVE SPACE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where's the rest of the song? I want to hear more vox

yea the ducking is on purpose, but i might have over done it a bit, my monitors are a little lacking in low end. I checked it out in my car, but it makes everything sound hyped so its kinda hard to tell.

Thanks rynugz007, I told my buddy nick (he wrote and played it all) that it needed some more vox, but thats all he had, maybe we'll figure something out to fill it out a bit more.

Sounds good, Al ;-)

Tell Nick he should let me rap during the empty sections.
