Thank you Byron. That really means a lot to me. Most people have given me
very negative criticism, I mean, not now... but in th3e past, so I was real
real hesitant to share this with you all. I'm playing a bit with the
compressor, and think I found a preset that I tweeked. Basically, we got a
3/1 ratio, with a 7MS attack, and a 25MS release, and my threshold at -12DB.
I'm finding that this sounds absolutely in, cr'r'r'r'r'redible! Oh, my
heavens! what a difference! My vocals sound way more well, what's the
word... full. They have more bottom to them, but the mud that I described
way back when is gone! Keep also in mind though that I used the native EQ 3
7 band EQ, and under vocals, I set in the librarian menu, add air. I didn't
change anything under the add air preset. I left it completely alone, and
just let the preset take over the EQ.
Can you give me some steps on what to do to put that distortion on my
inserts for the base and the drums? Also, is that just a preference, or is
there a reason why you're thinking that would work here? Also, why add
distortion if you won't hear it? I don't understand your logic.
Chris.

hello mark,
this is byron.
somethings sound really good raw.
i would continue to create a nice balance with all of your sorce tracks.
than 2 , i would add some very light distortion to the bass and drums.
so light infact, that you could not notice it when the music is playing.
i look forward to hearing where this mix will end up at, because some would
over process searching for a polished sound, but how you cut it, is how it
needs to be mixed, good luck bro. awesome job so far

Hello Mark, good times. So did you play any of the instruments in that
arangement? The musical arangement is well done, your vocals are ok, it
just seems like you could loosen up a little. I bet when your singing that
same song without a mic in front of you you let it rip and roar. So, as
for any thoughts of how to improve it, I think the vocals are sitting on
top of the music a little too much, either you could pull the vocals down
a tad, or compress or both. I myself would definatly compress the vocals
more, at least a 3 to 1 and go up from there with a fast atack on a faster
paist song like that and dig into the thresh hold.
Take care

OK, I'll admit, this might not be the best, but I am definitely open for
suggestions on how to get things more pollished. I'd be curious though
not only for you to point out the bad parts, but also to tell me the
points that you do really like, if any. I'd like to get both sides.
This was put together just this morning in ProTools. I'll admit I didn't
really spend much time on this, so I probab ly could have gotten it more
pollished, but for only 5 takes on the vocal, plus the arrangement I did
with the instrumentation, I think it actually came out quite well, all
considered. You can hear the recording by visiting:

Plwease let me know what you all think. Again, I want both the things
that really could be done to make this shine a bit more, as well as to
know the things you really did find worked really well for me.
Chris.
