working title Off Tempo

This is a track from what will be a 4 track demo eventually. It was recorded using the new eSp1010 sound card. It was a live recording all instruments played at the same time with a little guitar overdub. This is by no means the finished article. It is a working mix and I would really appreciate your honest comments.

Critic away - I can take it - i should be able to, after all I'm only a drummer

The drums will definately need some compresion as will the bass guitar. There is a lot of midrange going on in there that is kind of fighting itself. I would try and smooth out that section of the EQ first then work on getting more low end into the mix.

Otherwise, interesting tune indeed.

Thanks noise. This is the first recording with the new equipment. Esp 1010, UB2442 and the B2031A monitrs, which I know are too low in positioning and seem at the moment to be high end biased ( the learning process of new monitors even with their filters). The guitar seems to cut my ears at times and can't find out why. I can't seem to fatten it out enough, this is with 4 gtr tracks. ho hum. I'll keep working and adjusting.

Thanks for the advise i appreciate it.

Yep, it will take some time to learn the new gear for sure. And moniters can sometimes take the longest to learn. I suggest popping in a CD you extremely familier with and having a few listens to get yourself aquainted with the new moniters. It works a charm, and you can always go back to retest your ear with something you know well.
