This is a little recording I've been really trying to work on getting to sound better. I am really trying hard over the past few weeks and haven't been doing recordings for very long (about 1 year)

I'm trying to get better and looking to record an EP or something.|

Thanks for checking it out....

Your guitars are very loud. I think you should Work on your levels a bit before anything else.

Yeah I thought about rolling the guitars back.

 

[TheDepthsWillRise]

Yeah agreed about the levels. You should probably see some peaks and valleys in the wave, it's a pretty fat bar. Also also of frequencies fighting for the same space. Try to carve something out for each piece.

Okay guys, so I tried working on the levels and bringing out certain things from each track. I also used a different guitar tone this time that I felt sounded better and less harsh. Let me know what you think! I'm trying to get better New strings would probably help bring out the Guitar and Bass much more....

So once again I have gone back and worked on this more. I enhanced some of the drum parts to better suit the Guitar Riffs, as well as applying a little bit of compression to the master track. I also extended the track a little bit longer. Lemme know what you guys think! I'm still looking to extend this track longer, add more parts and really bring out what I'm trying to realize Musically here. Still just a rough track....

From what I can hear, sounds like it's pumping preeetty bad.

yeah, this is not good at all

the song is 100% pumping. Seems like you put a 30/1 ratio compressor on the main bus, take the compressor off, turn the guitars down

I used a limiter, and I turned it down because I realize what you mean by pumping now. I turned the guitars down around 1db too. I think I'm turning the guitars up too much to make up for my lack of tone, probably because I need to change strings.

I had that problem too when i first started with recording on digital equipment. I tended to go apeshit with the compression.

Re-recorded guitars again this time with new strings. Chilled out with the limiter. I'm sure there's a lot more room for improvement though. This is all I've been doing all day.

 

[Larcher]

there is still pumping going on, now instead of everywhere, it's on the guitars.

 

[Yo_Wattup]

Can you not hear that massive pumping sound? You need to back waaaaaaaaay way way off your compressors/limiters, its unlistenable.

Alright you guys are right. I did away with the limiter and it sounds a lot better.

wut..... Dude you should read the systematic mixing guide, its an awesome thingy to read if your a beginner (like myself)
