Mix Feedback... Beatles, Left Banke, Beach Boys, Zombies

Advice on mixing piano

Happy with mixes on my new record but feel the piano sounds little dull and flat on these tracks. We recorded a grand with two 414s. The piano is mixed fairly spread out. A bit of natural reverb from the room we cut in. Would a bit of plate open it up? EQ? Any advice? Needs bunch and more vibrance. ...

Thanks for the kind words, please keep the feedback coming. I've spent the last two years writing and recording this record... most of the overdubs at home and really want it be as good as it can be. Petsounds, Odyssey and Oracle, Sgt Pepper are all influences.

Brian Wilson- Petsounds guitar sound

Anyone know what the guitar sound is (type of guitar, how it was recorded) on Petsounds by the Beach Boys. I've read it is a 12 string but thats as far as I know. Trying to emulate that beautiful, shimmery tone on Sloop John B. Is it doubled?

USB and Firewire options

I am choosing between an Imac for $1200 with one 800 FW port and one400 FW Port. And an iMac for $1000 with one 800 FW Port and a USB 2.0 Port.
