Here a small track of mine . waiting for advice mix,for example, please

[Dan C]

Great playing Skev! I would turn the drums down and bring the bass up, the guitar sounds about right, maybe could be a touch louder but that's just personal preference

[Skev]

Yeah ! Thanks a lot , that s exactly the type of advice i need!! I ignore all about so i try different things but hard to equilbrate tracks bu myself

[The Marlin]

I thought it sounded great. Loved it!

[Skev]

Really? Thanks a lot Marlin

[Michiel]

Nice playing Skev! I'm in awe of your chops.
That songs had a good vibe in it. Sorta 50s/60s billy meets 70s loveboat (please don't kill me: I really like that vibe).

I agree with Marlin's comments on the mix. Drums are a little to far on the foreground. Tone them down a little and give them a smidgen of reverb to bring them a bit to the background in the same 'environment' as the guitar.
I couldn't hear the base on my iphone (I the iPhone doesn't give me ANY bass), but I suspect it could be turned up.

Great playing, well done.
And thanks for sharing that with us!

[Skev]

Thanks a lot! I m glad you could write that of what i play, really !

[Skev]

Thanks for the tips on the drum mix!!!

Great playin Skev - I think I'd concur with the drums - just need turning down a tad - not a lot - just enough to bring the guitar up a bit without actually altering the level of the guitar

[Skev]

Thank you rockabilly ! Understood for the drums ! Is there enough compressor or to much?

[NickGretsch]

Nice one Skev, sounds good.

TBH I really wouldn't go compressing it, sounds nice and open as it is but as commented on previous posts, drums too loud, bass too quiet.

Try increasing bass/decreasing drums by a couple of dB's without losing that lovely guitar work.

Do post the new mix when you've finished it, we'd all like to hear it.

And I hope you're working on an album

[Skev]

Thanks a lot , and thanks for tips. However i feel ashame because i have erased the multi tracks record from reaper and from the computer ( i do it after recording because i don t a a lot place in it) i just kept the final result . But , those tips are very important for next records

Oh Skev...what a shame. Well it sounded good but with that extra adjustment could have sounded better.

Don't know your recording system but it's a real shame you have to keep erasing material when you've recorded it. Can't you back up to a good sized pen drive or external hard drive?

Here is my " home studio" : an old 2005 packardbell i media utho , i ve just change the processor for a better one ( but still old , to fit with the motherboard, 2gb of ram ), reaper, guitar rig ac combo, a peavey xport usb, and a memory toy... So now you can laugh!!!

[Skev]

Here is a confidential picture of the wonderful "electric lady skev studio" lol as you can all is upgraded for an optimal production... Note old hi fi system on your left which ignore the existence of mp3 ...
