The Cows album 'Whorn' has the bass and guitar panned left/right respectively. I think it sounds fantastic, but it was recorded live in the studio and there is a lot of bleed from the other instruments.

Wow, this is awful.

I was fairly new to him and his music but I really like North Star Deserter and At the Cut.

Overall I think the mix sounds really good! At around 4:11 there's a guitar that comes in, that I wish was a little louder. I tend to like more ethereal sounding stuff over a really thick rhythm section though. Kind of a subjective thing really.

don't you mean new york compression? usually used on the drum buss, not the whole mix i think. It is called new york compression. Thanks, that got me on the right track. I had a friend use this technique on his electronic (I don't know how else to call it...experimental music made with field record...

you just blew my mind.

Does anyone have any good links or tips on how to use the NY mastering technique.

yes, I think literally on every song, I love it.

I started putting a cheap MXL large diaphragm condenser in a small metal trash can three or four feet away from the kit. I'll then put blankets over it and create a little tunnel to the kick. I'll use this in conjunction with dynamic close mic'd but will usually mix the 'can' mic higher because it s...

Thanks for all of the great suggestions. We ended up just getting on skype and sending the zipped sessions to each other that way. It worked pretty well actually.

I'm looking at turn my pc into a ftp server...is that what you are doing or do you have an external ftp site?

Me and my friend have been working simultaneously on an album and now we need to put it all together. Does anyone have any suggestions for sending these sessions with their wav files over the internet?

can you overdub using these things? If so, I might have to bite as well. I have the regular H4 and you overdub with that. It basically works like a four track...so you can bounce down even to get more than four tracks. It sounds like the H4n does everything the H4 does, only better. Gah! I've had m...
