Mixing Practice.

[magno]

Hey Tony I'm hearing lots of clicks and pops, mostly in the guitar and bass tracks.
What's up with that?

Hey dude, nice job. I like what you've done with the intro. Your drums sound miles better than mine! I really need to learn how to get the best out of my EZdrummer

Oh, and Magno, sorry about the clicks - I didn't realise that they had exported with the audio. I thought it was just a playback problem on my own system (I need about an extra gig of RAM). Sorry about that everyone.

To get the drums to sound good I just gave up on trying to get a good sound out of ezdrummer and replaced the kick and snare with slate samples. If this computer could handle it I would probably do the same for the toms as well.

Hey guys. Here my mix.
I didnt spend to long on it. and i sure i could have spent hours and hours playing around with the song. Im still very new to recording and mixing so i was just playing round with my program [ adobe audition 3] so let me know what you think and ways i can improve it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey dude, sorry I've been quiet so long - I've been at home sick all week, with no internet access.
Again, this is a nice job. I don't know how you did it exactly, but it sounds faster somehow, or just more frantic. Pretty cool.
Also, what did you do with the vocals? Is that just the doubled tracks played back at the same volume together or is there more going on there?
I keep meaning to revisit this (and my other songs) to record some backing vocals, but so far I haven't had the time. And I'm not sure whether to harmonise or use gang vocals.
Also, it could probably do with a solo of some sort during the break (or maybe not...)

Hey thanks. i just imported it into audition i didnt speed it up or anything [ well, not intentionally
im pretty sure the 2 vocal tracka are just played back at the same volume.\ill have to have a bit more of a play around with it and see if i can improve on my mix

Any chance you could let me know the key it is in , so i can add a solo? if i can work something out..

Get well.
