I agree that it's one of their best, was very disappointed to see it wasn't on MX. I enjoyed your take on it :)

lovers in japan acoustic on guitar!

I've never mic'd drums in my life, but give these videos a watch, they might help you :) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbWGGPmubH0]The Drum Setup - 1.1 - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z1d0ixQFzo]Close Micing A Tom - 1.4 - YouTube[/ame]

I like doing stuff. Sorry, my brain is fried from work but feel free to enlist me to help with something. :) To a moderate degree, I can do piano/guitar/vox/mixing/string arranging

Stephan's exactly right. The mixing stage is taking all the elements of the song - all the different recordings, and trying to make them play nice with each other. Panning them correctly, setting up the effects, EQ'ing them...basically, giving each instrument and each track a sweet spot to make the whole thing sound perfect as a whole. Then, mastering is when someone takes the "perfect" whole and turns it into something "ideal". Meaning, wherever it is, and whoever hears it, it will still sound right. This is a fine science, and I'm certainly no master at it (no pun intended!). That's why I want practice. :) Here's a score I wrote, mixed and - a week later - mastered using cheap orchestral samples, Shure SRH840's and Propellerhead's Reason 6. (And my Ultimate Ears. And my cheap speakers. And my friend's speakers. And my friend's car...etc...)

Absolutely MJBK. Just send me a private message or reply to this post whenever you're ready. :) Working on your tracks Champ, I'm a bit slowed down by an orchestral scoring project I'm finalising.

I had no clue about those demoes. O_O *listening now*

That almost sounds like something I wrote once but much much better. :) And yes - it really was worth watching!

It's not quite there yet, but I can really hear what you're doing with it!

Hi Simon, absolutely. Especially with original songs it's best to have a high quality sound when sharing it around. :) Mr Champion...I don't know if I ever knew your real name LOL...I can absolutely master your project. The audacity project will give me more flexibility but I'm more than happy to work with just an mp3. :) PM'd.

Send me your finished mp3, or all of your stems (each recorded instrument as separate files), and I will make it sound better or add any effects you want (such as tape saturation, vinyl scratchies, over a telephone line etc) using Propellerheads Reason 6 and Avid Pro Tools. :) You can send me an audacity project as long as the recording files come with it.

Nice work :)

I want practice. :)

Respect!!! :)

Go into a store with your guitar and ask to try them out. :)
