This all sounds great. Fantastic work.

Hey guys! Our band has whipped up this Christmas style song and I wanted to run it by everyone to see if they found any problems with it. I'm trying to master this myself, so please let me know as well if you hear any problems there before we release it as a single. Check out the tune here: http://b...

Thanks for taking the time to check it out and respond JWL! I'll look into the mud and see if I can wash a little away. You're only noticing it in the quieter sections?

Hey guys, I?ve got a song that I feel is pretty close to being done. I?ve tried to master it myself, but I?m not sure how it compares and I?m a little worried I might be squashing it too much. Can you guys give a listen and let me know your opinions? Any other song and mixing advice is always welcom...

Hey guys, I've RE-uploaded this tune. I'd love to hear some suggestions about the mix in general. I also feel like the low end might be way too much now. My previous mix was way too light. I've removed the old file (mostly because everyone seems to listen to the old one when you update). Please let ...

Hey Nick!

I've actually high-passed on almost every track...fairly high as well.

I think I might have too much going on with my plug-ins on the bass.

I'll look there as that might be the main culporate.

Thanks!
Tait

It almost seems like no matter how much I turn the low end down, it's still heavy as hell in my car with all equalizers set to 0. What's going on?!

Hey guys, Here?s a new one our band (Bag of Toys) is working on. We?re hoping to release this album ourselves, and this is one of the songs that I feel is close. My biggest problem is usually the low end as I?m mixing almost exclusively on cans, so please let me know if it?s a big mess or not. Curre...

I don't know if anyone cares, but I've re-recorded some things and remixed. Let me know what you think.

cheers!

*Updated Tune* Hey guys, Our band (Bag of Toys) finally got a chance to record and mix our (2 year old) song "Santa Bring More Beer" and I was hoping I could get some fresh ears to check it out and make any mixing suggestions such as...levels, panning, EQ, compression...all that stuff. Newest Versio...

Hey guys, I've updated the track with some suggestions in mind (along with some things I came across), so if you get a moment, feel free to check it out and let me know what you think.

Cheers!

*NEW LINK UPDATED BELOW...* Hey guys, I've got another tune here that I'd love some kind of constructive criticism of the mix or production. I kind of feel like there's not a ton of separation between everything. It's one of my more dense mixes, but I want to make sure everything has it's own space....

Thanks for checking out the tune Gregg! This is all great advice. We've got no problem re-recording some of this, so this is all great stuff to take into account. I've toyed around with the mix and moved some things around. I also want to do some changes to it's not the same thing through the whole ...

Hey guys! Just looking for a little mixing critique on this new little tune that's kind of a cross between Jack Johnson and Sublime. Feel free to poke at or suggest anything that you think might make this a little better. http://bagoftoysmusic.com/music/let_that_love_out_bote4_w_comp_eff2.mp3 Thanks...

Cubase LE4 Won't Let Me Record! I have NO clue what's going on here, but hopefully someone can help me out. (Here's my system: iMac running 10.6.4 (OSX) through PRESONUS FIREBOX) I've updated all the input software such as Firebox Mixer, Firebox Control and I've updated the firmware. (I was also abl...
