FWIW, I put it up on my Tannoy 6.5 PBM II's and and I feel like the guitars are kinda distorted like recorded with a cheap condensor. I put it up on Auratones and I really hear that - I thought "hashy" before I saw anyone else used that term. And I agree that the drums in particular lack bottom. Me...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hrp31vvxtkfg62b/All_That_I_Get_010118.mp3?dl=0 For what it's worth I didn't find this harsh or fatiguing at all, listening on ATH M50 headphones (which tend to accentuate high-mids and sibilance). In fact, I thought it could use a little mid boost! Must be your room or you...

Hi brightpavilions. I have a few days off. If you want me to give you an objective analysis of your multitrack / mixing issues, send me one of your multitracks to take a look at. I have both PT 10 and 12. I can go track by track, and also listen to your mix so far, and tell you where you need to lo...

I just took a listen to the track. I think musically you've got some really great things happening. You ideas are really great fro the song. From a technical point of view, I hear the upper mid build up. (I only listened on ear buds, I'm at home). I feel like there's a solid low end from the bass, ...

Thanks for posting a track, very helpful. Not sure you're really *not* overcompressing - to me everything is very forward, so maybe you're just great at playing up to the limit or something. Hmmm. Alright, well there's compression on the vocals and bass ... maybe kick. That's it tho. Nothing on the...

Hi Bright.. I downloaded and put an EQ on it..parametric and surgical graphic eq.. there is a ton of hash starting at 1k or so and going all through your top end..right to the top feels a bit sibilant and essy sometimes..not just the voices..all the brass on the drums feel this way too..hashy, the ...

Again, thanks for all the awesome feedback ya'll. I'm apprehensive (you know how it is) to share a WIP but below is a link to take a listen to the last mix I was doing. Some background. Overall my recordings are pretty "mid-fi." The gear is decent quality and the room is totally untreated. I play a...

I haven't actually been able to listen on anything worth examining the mix on, but it sounds like the conversation is highlighting your recording and listening environments more than anything else. Do the words small, bright and live describe where the room where the instruments were recorded? It c...

For some reason can’t find my reply to this...but basically what I said is my experience with KRK monitors is that they are overly bright and fatiguing to listen to. If your mixes sound good on these they will probably be dull elsewhere. My business partner likes his KRKs...but he has also been on ...

Bright..do you mean you find them lacking in high end content when you're monitoring through them..mixing? Or, do you mean lacking in high end when you play a bounce on other systems..like cars, living rooms and phone buds etc.. Lacking when they transfer to a "stereo" system e.g. home audio, car, ...

You all sure know how to make a guy feel comfortable. Talking this out is making me rethink the EQ that's happening on my drums. I think I'm overcompensating while trying to reduce the level of open high hats. I'm apprehensive ... just because I am, but would any of you be willing to listen to the l...

Bright.. Do some playing around with an EQ on your 2 buss just to test things out in a broad and general way..a test My suggestion would be to go right to the 1k (plus or minus) and into the 2k areas..and pull down a bit, sweep that curve a bit..then, pull down a lot..see if you start to feel that ...

My thoughts: Turn down. Better? Especially turn down, or even stop using, the "earbuds" - it's hard to accurately judge the levels of those, particularly after a few minutes. (Side story but on-topic: I have occasion to have to speak and listen in public places and find that using earphones or earb...
