    Hey Rob. Ugh! I keep forgetting!

  • @guatecoop  Feb 2022

    Yup, I just recorded it again (not updated) with a ribbon mic and an Audix i5, panned them, put the bass ahead of the kick, and got rid of some compression and that song sounded 20 times heavier. Thanks!!

    Hey thanks for the tip on the bass. You know, usually I tend to sit the bass in front of the kick sonically and this time I think that I put a bit more of the 70-100k, but (even though I know) sometimes that ends up having the opposite effect than what I am going for. The other thing is that I was trying for a sharper (less 70s) bass sound and I think that actually took away from the bass and guitar, too. Trying to mix in this new room has been interesting and I will run into both successes and challenges. Really, I think that I'm going to have to re-record the guitar (and maybe a second), but use a more suitable speaker and mic to get what I'm looking for. Your guitars and everything else always sound so even and balanced. At some point, I may pick your brain about mixing. For some songs I have a good handle on it, but then with others I seem to be fighting against the mix for a variety of reasons. In this case, I think that I have tracks that are fighting for the same sonic territory and I also think that I have too much compression on the tracks when combined with the master effects....so gain staging.
    So, when are you going to come out with your annual song(s) with @cts ? Always a highlight for many of us.....
