    But it sounds homemade.

    It sounds good, I like the separation. Only one thing I'm hearing a lot of low end in places there shouldn't be like Synth, vocals, etc...

    My advice would be to high pass everything except for the bass synth and drums so that are don't feel so cluttered. make sure too that the low mids are cleared too because there's a bit of boominess there too. Apart from that? well it sounds quite good and I like the tune.

    It is not gear, but your capacity as mixing engineer. It takes hours and lots of mixing to get to sound like the pros. Your gear and software is enough for you to create "radio ready" music the problem is in the mixing and mastering process. Case in point Billie Eilish music was all recorded and produced by her in her brother in their bedroom but all those songs were mixed and mastered by a mixing and master engineer.

    Chucking more gear and plugins at it will make no difference, if you want to get better at mixing you need to get some knowledge and practice.

    I hope this helps.

    Yes and there's a lot there for you to watch, from complete mixes (beginning to end) to tips and masterclasses.

    Another great resource is Groove3, they have lots of complete mixes and courses and best of all you can sign out whenever you want.

    Managed to get EZDrummer for shy of £60. Have spent three minutes with it and it seems like a whole lot of very effective fun. It was from PluginBoutique. 

    You can't go wrong with plugin boutique, if I was you I would get EZ Keys Dream Machines too, it is going for £22 right now.

    Peavey 700 tour or Hartke HA3500?

    Was going to offer to sell you my Tour 450, not the 700 but still packs a mighty punch. Played this one at an open air festival some time ago through my BFM Omni 10 (2x10 only one cab) and the sound guy had to ask me to turn it down because they couldn't hear the guitar player who was playing through a mic'd Marshall full stack :)

    You don't know how proud that made me :)

    Drum editing

    in Recording

    Posted · Edited by Mcgiver69

    In my opinion it is getting silly, so much that the other day me and my band were recording some demos for our website and the drummer was complaining about his drumming because it wasn't up to a radio standard (by that he meant to the click) even though we played the demos live. We ended up discarding all recordings because he wouldn't consent to put the recordings in the website as he thought he played terribly. He asked me to edit the drums but because we recorded all at the same time it would've entailed me editing bass and guitars too which I wasn't going to do. 

    Go figure.

    OMG that was painful , and it only goes to scare me even more for when I will need to upgrade my computer!

     

     

    No need, just remember prior to upgrade to go to iLok and deactivate your licenses. Then re-install iLok in your new machine and re-activate the licenses.
