Live recording / vid of my new all original band, for fun and critique
Truth is this video is done, however any suggestions on the mix will help for future works. Recorded multi track and mixed at home. It is a bit trickier to mix with all the bleed of a loud band into the open mics. Hope you enjoy. http://youtu.be/ycWxOmQb6Gg

That is a foot tapping song. Nice...A good mix for a live recording. drums are a bit hard to hear but the song is catchy.

Thank you, Rocky Vincent, the singer is the writer, I'm the guitarist and did the recording. There was plenty of bleed in the mics, so I'm thinking about things I can do to achieve greater isolation. Does anyone know if those acrylic shields around drummer are effective? I do have a closed back cabinet I could use and aim it away from the band a bit more... just thinking...

wow, this is mixed really well for a live performance! I'm really impressed. live performance mixes are much harder to do than studio tracks, IMO.
plastic shields around the drummer do help, but they won't completely isolate. if you want true isolation, you need a studio track! :-)
good job!

Band looks and sounds great - totally ready for the big time! Can't really see how you're miking the drums, but this sounds so good that probably the only way you're going to get it any better is to close-mic every single drum. I wouldn't bother about getting greater separation except on the bass -- it's all over everything. I don't get out much, but this is a band I would go see.

Well, I'd sure come see you play! Nice job all around. Recording is very nicely done and the performances are well done, giving us a nice musical experience. Hey, Columbia, Mo. is where my cousin lives. I've been there. Don't remember a lot but I would have remembered this. I REALLY enjoyed it!!

Other than the kick being a little low I think it's a great live recording - it's not like you had a recording truck or something so I'd consider it very well done.  Good performances too - your guitar work is real solid.

Interesting thought about the recording truck. As I contemplate what it might offer in this modern age of recording and the great tools we have. All I can think of is in the truck you might have the advantage of isolation from the stage sound and you can monitor it inputs to insure your getting what you want to get. I don't know, I've never been involved with one.
I did use a low bass filter on the kick trying to minimize the top end bleed, maybe I went too far with it. Or maybe it's time to try the sidechaining of a compressor. Of course I could just turn the kick up lol.
Speaking of sidechaining to duck the bass with the kick hits. (I've not yet actually tried it) What happens if a bass note gets played a bit earlier than the kick? (real world here) Is the ducking affect still effective, or does it get odd maybe even enhancing the flam.... I'll get to it and try soon, just got home from another set of gigs.
Oh, and I do appreciate all your comments and compliments. Music is so much fun we might as well try to get it right.
