I’ve always usually published myself and registered the PRS.. but as I say they haven’t sent me through the fine details yet so I’m speculating on what to look out for.. As they are becoming quite an established brand in the industry and have some good acts on their rosta I am tempted to sign with t...

Hi All, I received an email from an A&R of a pretty decent record label, they really like a few of my tracks and want to release them on their label (pending approval from the rest of their team). I've never signed any music to a label as I've always released independently, I'm not sure what to ...

Switched to the stereo channel strip and has sorted itself

Uncanny Valley. It certainly works in this context. On a technical note - something seems to be 'pulling' the rap vocal to the right. A mono effect in a stereo channel? Yes this has been annoying me, it’s on a mono input stereo output but the waves channel strip EQ seems to keep pulling it over eve...

Hi guys, Sorry I’m bombarding with mixes right now :lolno: I’m experimenting a lot with :) vocals right now, I wanted this track to have a male poet vox.. inspired by faithless. I’ve recorded my vocal and changed the pitch and formant, I’ve EQ’d to try and get rid of any lingering harmonics from my ...

Thanks audio elders lol Good things to think about there, it’s a new format for me as I’m used to the usual song structure too but have been using a few reference tracks for the arrangement may still tinker though! Yes the delay panning good points, I was still planning on editing the beat a bit mor...

Oops I've posted this thread 3 times not sure how to undo that sorry lol

I realise I've missed the first few bars on the mixdown btw lol

Hi All, Kirsty again... Working on another track again :-) This is draft 7 and I'm not sure I'm achieving the necessary oomph at the drop but as you can see this is draft 7 so I'm looking for any opinions on the mix or arrangement. Have I gone a bit OTT with the NY Compression? There's a synth bass ...

Yes! Swells on the strings :-) I've also Eq'd just those intro string to add the low end back in for a bit more lushness. Took your advice on the kick drum too. Also sorted a couple of sudden volume spikes on the throws, feeling like it's complete... https://soundcloud.com/user-410433233-548354857/w...

Yay!

Well 20 heads is always better than one

I'm really happy with it now, thanks to all of you

Here's draft 9 with the edited vocal throws (specially the end one)

Ooh I like that idea for the delay at the end!

I will have a play again later tonight with fresh ears

Thanks Paul I was just mixing down and saw that so went back in and played with the panning on the vocal throws etc. Ok I'm happier with this mix for levels and have sorted the arrangement to lead into parts better.. https://soundcloud.com/user-410433233-548354857/weather-the-storm-draft-8/s-ULXiSHh...

Actually call that a lot of mix issues, I listened this morn and seem to have buried a load of parts that sounded loud in my headphones but shit elsewhere lol. Will be obsessing more today

Hi guys, I've been playing with the arrangement a lot over the weekend. I've tried to add more dynamic changes, a new chord structure at the bridge and new vocal section to bridge into the second chorus. Still a couple of mix issues standing out I think but how does the new arrangement sound? https:...

Not sure if I did but rectified by closing down and restarting?

Perhaps my little computer is scrambled!

Could be a good point ( although I don’t this one plays live) I am getting an annoying issue where every time I press play cubase is recording onto any track set to record, it’s annoying! I rendered down all my midi data and am using send busses but inserts on some channels, is it a cpu overload iss...

but I do appreciate all the feedback :-) it's always constructive on here. I sent it to a producer i worked with before and just got Your singing isn't good You're out of tune The melody isn't good The backing isn't good Just scrap the whole idea :lol: BUT that person then said I should never pan in...

Thanks Richard :-) Sometimes it's hard to choose what things to action when you get a mixed bag of opinions lol I agree on the bassline coming in too early it could have more effect if it comes in later with the drop. I have been considering whether to add a section before the second chorus drop wit...
