I just put up a tune that my band has been working on on NoWhereRadio. It's called "Waiting for Words to Come." We aren't quite finished with the vocals (Have to fix a few parts), and I'm not done mixing them. I'd really like some tips on how I can get them to fit in better, or just tips on the mix in general. Tell me what you think :-) Thanks!

Jun 23, 2003 05:15 pm COOL tune dude
really my thing :D
love to hear the final version!
what i liked was that around 1.00 the singer started screaming didn't really expect that and then smoothly back to normal
really cool dude! wanna hear more
what kind of (software)drummachine do you use??
Jun 23, 2003 05:16 pm wow, you have a really professional sound there. i love the surprise ending!
i think i hear what you mean about getting the vox to sit better in there. they seem very close at times and at other times very distant. wish i could offer some advice. i've very little experience mixing. but if it's any consolation, i think you've already surpassed "amateur" so if you need to go with what you've got, that'd be fine. :O) -j
Jun 23, 2003 05:17 pm presley, that's a real drumkit bro :O)
Jun 23, 2003 05:18 pm that's why i was wondering which one it was
cuz i want one like that 2 :D
Jun 23, 2003 05:19 pm oh i bet, that's all i really need, a real drummer. then i might actually be recording some of the songs i have in my head!
hey another thing, that bassline is tight!
Jun 23, 2003 05:25 pm BTW there's just one thing i don't really like
and that's the way it fades in...
you should jus fall right in with the intro instead of fading in, to me it sounds like the backgroundsound of a copyright warning on a videotape when fading in like that
just thought i'd mention it
but the rest is awesome
Jun 23, 2003 05:32 pm Thanks Presley and Jamie!
Yeah, that's a real drummer, although he might sound like a machine since he never loses the tempo (Makes recording a lot easier than when I do the drums myself!).
Jamie- Thanks a lot, that bass line is my doing :-)
Anyone else?
Jun 23, 2003 05:36 pm i like the fade in, but it's gonna be hard to fit that into a CD unless PorpoiseMuffins already has an idea of where it will belong on the CD. I think generally it might be best to leave the premaster rough cut and un-faded so let whoever will be mastering your CD can do your fade-ins and fade-outs. It's tough getting two songs to go together back to back when someone has already faded them in or out before hand. It makes you (the mastering artist) add a whole bunch of silence between the two songs so that the listener "forgets" about the previous song before the next one starts.
in conclusion: i dig the fade-in, but save it for the mastering stage of things. It's fine on an mp3 that you're streaming off the net, but I hope the actual premaster has been left untouched.
Jun 23, 2003 05:57 pm Yeah, it's actually already mastered a bit in Ozone as is. The premaster is left untouched (It was simply faded in in the mastering process), so I can change the fade whenever I need to.
