Mastering is the final stage of the production process, preparing the track for release. Mixing is essentially summing the tracks up into one (or as little number channels as possible) track, a.k.a. the "mixdown" of each track, after all the effects are added. Think of the finished product (i.e...
yea, that's my bad. I had the instrumental finished for months before finally recording my vocals on it. The instrumental had surf-influenced sections that still made it to the final version, but I had to eq a lot of it to the background since it was overpowering the vocals, which was a bummer...
By no means is your production bad, that sounded just fine. I understand what you're asking though, and tbh there isn't anything necessarily wrong, but I'll play devil's advocate and list the extremely nitpicky things I was able to notice. - that lead tone has a ton of presence in the high...
thanks so much man!! I really appreciate the love, definitely more to come soon! my soundcloud is soundcloud.com/goofyfootsd and my facebook page is facebook.com/goofyfootsd
Hey dudes! I just released my first song as a (don't kill me!) pop artist. I've played metal for a long while now but had this idea a few months ago. Surf rock used baritone guitars, and lots of music (especially top 40) is putting a heavy focus on deep dance beats and stuff, so I thought it'd...
Whats up guys! I dont post here a whole lot (usually busy with work and school), but I finally had some free time to record something new! . I wrote & recorded this yesterday, always wanted to try and see how low I could tune down and still write something that sounded sick. With the help of...
Hey guys sorry about taking so long to respond. Was on vacation 8-). I thought the gauges for strings I was looking at were rather large too, but they're circle k strings. It was my first time ordering them and when I tune up with them the tension-gauge ratio seems to be way lighter tension...
Hey guys, I just recently tried to completely learn all about string tensions so i could put together a custom set. I have an Agile Intrepid Pro that's 28.875". I'm tuning it to D# standard. Tried using the tension calculator and this is what came out C4# .013" PL == 24.85# A3 .016" PL ==...

I know I may get MAD flack since the ts808's a classic, but I was looking into OD pedals to improve my tone on my 8-string (it's tuned down to D# standard). And I was reading about this Pigtronix Fat Drive, which apparently has circuitry that's said to preserve the low end, as opposed to other...
Hey guys, been shopping around for an overdrive pedal for my 8-stringer. Was thinking... if the ODB-3 is made specifically for bass-range notes, then I wonder how it would sound on the low end of my guitar? Someone's got to have tried that at least once before. If anyone has any knowledge on...
Had an 11r for almost 2 years now. LOVE IT. Wish I could afford an AxeFX, but I'm completely satisfied with my 11rack now. Only downside with it I guess was that I've never used any of the presets, always thought the presets kind of sucked. In hindsight I'm so thankful for that, because it...
Def dude!!!!! I'm so sick of tech-shit. I love to try and write fairly simple and fun songs rather than complicated and exhausting tech songs that sound like 400 misfitting riffs strung together. Thanks for listening to the demo! It actually only has guitar and drums in it (and the dj...
Hey guys, my name's Spencer. New member here, but not new to the forums. I've been browsing here the past couple years and felt maybe it was finally time to get an account to start getting opinions on music. I've been recording my own music for 2 years, played guitar for about the same. I...
