If I were mixing it I'd probably throw a tiny bit of slapback on the guitar solo, but that's just me. I think that's a really cool idea. I had the same thought about "italics" at the end, but it definitely seems more like a pronunciation thing than where the vocal is sitting, especially since for t...

I was thinking about this recently. In my DAW it shows the frequency chart for your channel EQ moves, and I've found I'm a lot more iffy with my decisions when using that, vs. a plugin where it's just knobs like an SSL channel plugin or the like. I always try to use my ears and not my eyes, and in t...

If you've got any non-metal examples feel free, but the songs you posted give a good idea. Found one! http://charmboy.bandcamp.com/track/the-lost It's mostly just a little gritty, but when he belts it gets pretty nasty sounding (in a good way haha). Responds nicely to dynamics. Awesome, thanks agai...

I'm not too into pop music, but I think Tony Maserati is a master at mixing it. This explanation of his use of multiband compression was fascinating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s3yU14xpJ8 I realize the vocalist is not female, but this is an interesting technique in the context of pop producti...

great suggestions! one thing I like doing is adding a fair amount of overdrive to one of the bass parts. it'll sound really fuzzy solo'd, but in the mix the OD just adds a little something extra to set it apart. Another great suggestion. I'm often surprised how much overdrive you can add to a bass ...

Sounds great clean, and I love driving the shit out of the input when I want distortion on a vocal. Do you happen to have a song/clip on hand that would show the type of distortion you're getting on a vocal? I've got a number of outboard preamps but only one pair that will really distort. I love us...

I listened on different monitors today. It definitely does sound more acoustic to me than I originally thought, but there are some of those high string parts that really sound unplugged electric. It doesn't sound like two guitars to me. Maybe it's a parlor acoustic with some funky high strings, or a...

Sounds exactly like my Jaguar unplugged to me. Kind of like an unplugged Tele but with a little more resonance to it since it's got the extra section of strings open after the stopbar. I like the sound, but it doesn't sound like some big production with compression/slapback/reverb to me. It sounds l...

Okay, thanks. I'm probably out $15, as this specific problem occurred with a batch (also, the only batch) I bought in the middle of last year. Regardless, I still don't see why they couldn't separate each piece of moonshot with wax paper, especially for the premium price and reusable nature of the ...
