BradoSanz

Thanks man, awesome to see someone enjoy the progressiveness of it all :)

Hey Brado, thank you so much for your advice - you were right of course. I dropped the volume a lot, and also removed some of the bass boost - I think it is much better now. I must say, I have never mixed this type of bass before, I used more natural sounding bass before and found that much easier. So thanks again, much appreciated :) TG

Thank you again, couldn't have done it without your loop!

Spank you spank you!

No worries man. Goodluck with your exams! They're more important ;)

Thanks

Well thanks a lot.

I prefer to mic them but if not then it's no problem I'll just reamp them in the DAW. I use Line 6 software and Amplitube with RedWirez Cabinet Impulses quite often but most of the time I just receive great files to start with.

For EQ it really depends on the genre, in this particular style of music I tend to do a lot of really narrow cuts at problematic frequencies like 4kHz, 5kHz, 700Hz etc. and shape the overall tone. I also might use de-essers on guitars to get rid of any harsh frequencies and multiband compressors to tame the low mids.

In general a bit of EQ does a lot to the sound.

If they sound good to begin with and I don't need to fix anything, I'll probably add some 8kHz to brighten them up and make them a bit more fizzy I guess.

Yes they are, meaning there was one guitar recorded for the left and one for the right.

I've never used stereo enhancers on this type of guitars. You can get them as wide as you want by proper balance.

If the guitars are properly edited they will sound amazing.

The answer to the guitar balance is...it should be lower in volume than you think :)

As for the vocal, as I've said....just Reverb, Stereo delay, and tape delay (slap delay)

thanks man i usualy try to make my own sounds what make the quality bad mostly but this time i found some good sounds to play with

Thanks, Brado. I would love to get an actual Vocalist to sing on my track(s). I have been trying to get better myself and I have made some progress but I will never be known for my singing. :)
Oddly the drums are off at 4:07on the render but not on the Master. I am going to render it again and see if it is fixed. Thanks for the kind words of support.

Thanks a lot! It does encourage me.

*gniffles* Does my own voice, run through FL's vocodex counts? lol..

That does sound kind of cliche but with the proper use will work out as a nice extra touch. I've already done those part actually.

I just started producing for fun and love for music so i'll keep it at solo producing for now. Adding good vocals is again a whole other lvl for me.

Thank you for your reply and kind words!! No automatic appregiators here. Only things i've used 'ready to go' in the entire track is 3 different drum loops, adjusted with extra claps/hihat/kick etc. So I could focus on all the rest which is more important to me then creating my own drum lines at this moment.

I've been working on the track (and so on this part has again changed for the better) day after day and it should be finished towards Monday. Then gets a hand at mixing and mastering from a professional who looks how I attempted those 2 proccesses and makes it all smoothened out. Then it will be uploaded again.

Just to give an idea, this short piece took me well over 70 hours since its not just producing i'm learning but understanding the software takes up a lot of time. The creation of this was easier then how to create the sound/effect etc of my imagination actually inside the software.

I use FL 10.0 or 10.2 or something.

Thank you so much! It was a dual set up. I don't recall what mic we used for the guitar but we just set up two mics in the middle of the studio and played through it.

Hey thanks BradoSanz! Another user on looperman said it might just be a production error too. i'll check it out and see. i thought maybe i just sounded weird

aw awesome and makes sense, sent you a link to your email. Thanks man :)

No didnt really intend it to blend, how do i get the vocals more prominent in the track? I know you work with vocals alot so your probably the dude to ask hahaha so any suggestions? dont work with vocals a whole lot kinda suck at it. I just use my knowledge of mixing synths and stuff and it doesnt really translate to working with vocals i dont think.

cheers for the feedback Brando :)

Thank you Brado! My songs are my diary, so it's hard for me not to feel the emotions when I'm singing them, so I'm glad it's translating.
