Mixing for Small Speakers, Computer Speakers, and phones

OK so after forever, my song is nearly finished. I've been 'nearly finished' for about a month now but the day when I'm 'actually finished' never seems to get any closer. I guess this is what chasing the dragon must feel like. I thought I was finished yesterday... My mix was sounding pretty nice on ..

Recording guitar chords as individual notes

Read this interesting one today. Instead of recording yourself strumming a chord, record yourself playing each individual note that makes up the chord in the same strumming pattern. It's weird. Sounds a bit different. A little clearer. I wouldn't of course use it to replace proper playing, but inste..

Do you write your lyrics to the beats, loops, melody or finished song?

In what stage of the songwriting process do you come up with the lyrics? Is it when you lay down the beats, throw down some loops, play a melody or wait until you have a finished song? Some people also prefer writing lyrics before anything is recorded, but I don't hear much about the process of writ..

Metal-heads! Need help mixing scream vocals

My band is recording our first demo, and anyone who has had to mix extreme metal knows how difficult it is to get everything to cut through. We actually have a female vocalist who sounds great at practice and when I recorded her parts. When I went to compress, EQ, and level her track with the song, ..

I am more a songwriter and less of a producer, however this modern age has me squeezed into engineering and producer and I'm getting much better thanks to a lot of painful years of learning.

Harmonic removal from a guitar track.

Hi, My guitarist recorded a track the other night and by his own admission played a passage badly. Whilst playing an E note throughout the passage he kept badly striking the strings causing a harmonic (similar I guess to a pinched) . It will be easy to get him to rerecorded but I would like to know ..
