Holy crap! What an amazing song and great vibe. POST MORE!

Cool! glad you like it. Here's a little Hip Hop diddy I did with some friends.

I kinda like how it turned out. You do see the actual takes in the video so it gives you an idea about mics and placement.

Same mics and interface as before.

stock plugins

Hello

Here's my first time recording a whole band. I have done some little recordings with only vocal and acoustic. nothing bigger.

I have used lot of time to mix the song. Really trying to get it as "pro" as i can

I would really appriciate any comments to help me make the mix better
I only used low end mics but i have fine pre amp (M audio Octane).

I used Pro tools 7 for recording and mixing

I only have the file on wav. so it's a big file.. sorry about that.
I uploaded it on dropbox

Here's is the link:

Please comment on the sound.. what you think i can do better..

Thank you for the time
It's my first post so let me know if i'm doing something wrong

Best Regards

really great mood. reminds me of Boards of Canada. for mood not instrumentation.

I LIKE. It's a very subdued melancholy. A great mood song. :D

Recorded both tracks using:

13" macbook, the built in mic on said macbook, garage band, $90 fender acoustic

The drums were done on the keyboard of the macbook, synth as well.
All sounds besides those are generated using an acoustic guitar and just creative effects use inside of garageband.

Here's a new song I just finished. AT 2035 - FMR RNP - Garageband. I had mastered by Scott at Old Colony Mastering though. That guy is amazing.

You have an insane talent for inducing hallucinations, my friend. :D I LOVE it.

Were all of the instruments GarageBand as well?

Five Fish, OSA, Onyx, modded BLA/DIGI preamps

Mixed through an AH Zed 14, 8 tracks from my modded 002.

Thanks!

haha I used the stock GB drum kits and then separated the snare, bass, and hi-hat onto separate tracks and used Massey Tapehead on each of 'em (it's free!). The guitar's are line in going through a tubescreamer, an echo park, and a verbzilla, and then I eq'ed the crap out of them (I'm big Cocteau Twins fan though I don't think it shows).

The main synth is the Cheez Machine. It's free and simple and forces you to make choice without going through hundreds of samples. That's really important to me. Thanks for checking it out!

vocal kind of reminds me of Bjork....very good mix, i liked it =)

Yeah, your live mix.

The bass is quite low. I suggest just bringing it up. If you use any AIR plug ins, I'd use the enhancer. It'd give the bass some balls that it's lacking.

This is a song that I recorded in a mates house.



I'm pretty happy with it. Any constructive criticism would be appreciated.

LOVE that song!....sounds like a little bowie, a little police, and a little alphaville all mixed together in a wonderfull 80s soup =)

+10 LOVE it!

Recorded via 2 linked Ensembles (Apogee got some higher end, so i think that's lo), MacBookPro, Logic9, Fender DeLuxe via Superlux R102, Bass via Avalon 737 (OK, that's only relatively Hi End) and other you can see in video, including my weird face over keyboard.

Just goes to show it's how you use what you have. The song sounds amazing....I'd throw that on my ipod without issue...not to mention it's really catchy

Until very recently I multitracked songs in Logic using VERY low-end methods. This song is probably the best low-end example I have: I did almost everything when I was living in China with a Chinese tele-copy, a Chinese fender-p copy, all of the audio (violins, voice, bell, drums) recorded into the little laptop microphone, and then messed with everything using the Logic plugins. I actually do have some better stuff I could have used, but it wasn't with me at the time I was doing this.

I recently started messing around with a cassette 4 track, and now I really want to get a nice tape machine and redo all these tunes with better equipment and hopefully a little more recording know-how (and maybe improved vocal/slide guitar/drumming skills!). Anyway, the most expensive piece of equipment here may have been the violin, which cost $2000. Is that ok? Alright, enough excuses- here it is.

Blue Crunk | Philadelphia, PA | Jazz / Funk / Blues | Music, Lyrics, Songs, and Videos | ReverbNation

Only 3 tracks... These are all originals of mine, but this was pretty much a practice so they aren't the best takes. All live too, no comps.

I used a mono AT2020 as an overhead directly above the kick, exactly halfway between cymabls.

A 58 on snare exactly in between snare and hat about 6 inches away...

another 58 on an ampeg 4X12 Bass cab thru a Fender Jazz Bass

A 57 on a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe thru a 67 Gibson ES125 w/ Lindy Fralin noise cancelling pickups.

It all went thru a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 into Logic 8 24 bit, no pres unfortunately....

THats it! only 4 tracks total. Any tips would be awesome!!!!! I had to borrow the 57 and other 58. I only own an AT2020 and a 58. Have no cash. How could I set this up to sound better??

Here's something i'm working on at the moment. Recorded with a Line 6 Toneport UX8 and a load of cheap mics for the drums, DI'd Bass and guitars using pod farm, and vocals done with a AT3035

Can't remember if it was specifically this thread or a similar thread that i posted the first draft...anyway here's the final mix of this song, not 100% happy with it, but it's enough haha...i might fine tune some mic placement's next time round.

So just to recap:
Interface: M-Audio Profire 2626 with Focusrite Octopre MkII Dynamic via ADAT for the band and guitar's were double tracked using softube vintage amp room using the direct in on an Apogee Duet, as well as the vocals recorded with the Duet.

Mics:
Overheads: 2 Cascade Fatheads (stock)
Kick: Beta 52
Snare: sm57
rack tom: sm57
floor tom 1: sm58
floor tom 2: md421
bass: sm7b
guitars: e906
Vocals: sm7b

DAW:
Logic Studio 9.1.xx
Softube Trident
Waves SSL Collection
Sonimus Satson
Softube Vintage Amp room/Bass amp room
Stock Plugs

Anyway, here we are, the final mix, its not perfect, but the main fixes needed to be addressed in the tracking phase (everything was tracked live in the same room)

pretty darn good for the computer mic...and i'm sure we can forgive you for the $2k violin, if not my mixes won't ever be valid since our stage gear probably exceeds $20k...haha, i usually don't count that towards the budget of the mix though haha...

sounds pretty good for what you're using, maybe lower the AT2020 a little bit more to get a tad more kick and a tad less cymbal, other than that impressive for such a small amount of mic's
