Mixing Practice.

[Tony Ramone]

Another nice job dude. The bass is really punchin me in the gut on this one

For the key, I have the guitars tuned down to E-flat (to suit my voice, just barely), so it's in the key of C# I guess?

It's |C# - C# - |F# - F - | for the verses, and pretty much sticks to those chords, just moved around a little.

This is why I love writing punk rock songs

Thanks for the input. i changed a few more things and i think my latest mix is a bit better. ill take the bass down a bit, its hard to mix it properly when you have two computer speakers and a sub lol but its going pretty good.

so im up to my fourth mix. i actually posted it over in bash this recording.
...ill just find the link,,
HERE IT IS

i would upload it here but ive used my monthly bandwidth and my internet has been slowed down a lot.

thanks for listening and commenting

Im interested to see what your final mix sounds like.

Well, I'm still working on it (I probably always will be...), but I think I was fairly happy with the version that's on my band's myspace (check my sig). I'm pretty sure that it's the last version that I posted in this thread if it's easier to listen from here.
That was quite a while ago though. Since then I've kinda started playing around with reverb plugins, but I haven't really mastered them yet. I've also gotten my speakers since then (with a sub) - at the time I was mixing purely on headphones, so I'm interested to see if my new system makes much of a difference. I haven't spent quite enough time working on them as of yet. Once I have though, I'll probably revisit any mixes I have done to see how they translate.
I'm sure if you take a quick look through any of my old posts, you'll figure out that I'm very slow at this recording business
I started recording my first song last may I think, and I've only got 3 even close to being finished and a 4th one that still needs some guitars recorded.
Then I gotta go back over them all to put on backing vocals and whatever other "polish" I feel the need to add...
Oh well, just gotta soldier on and try to make more time.
