Did you check the file size limit? Must be under 97Kbytes. If you explain in the description what it is, it should be okay.

Post

Oh wow, that's very, VERY little space. I was going to upload the latest sound I made with 3.1.1 and it's an elaborate set of Cores and Delays, creating a wild Twong sound that's quite curious. But it alone has 130kb, why ever?!
Well, let me know when you upped the limit to 200kb, hehe! ;)

Thanks, though! I think it's a great idea to have that site!

Post

Heh, yeah - I know it's tiny... Partly we've only got a slow uplink back out, so big files won't be nice to download but mostly because I've got no content checking, so people could use it to share anything if I'm not careful. I thought 100000 would do for most stuff without samples in, if compressed... Is yours 130Kb after compressing and no samples?

Post

No compression as far as I can tell... should I zip it up? I can do that, too, of course. ...hmmm...no idea why this didn't even cross my mind, HAHA...pfff! :roll:

Don't know if fit to the rules.
I used some guitars, acoustic and electric and some VST plugins, but it is made in Mu.Lab :D

Uh, very, very pretty! After my own heart, I'd say, Mihai! Excellent! :)
Drums get a bit smooshed in the reverb. If you took them in a tiny bit crisper, I think it would get just a tiny bit finer. While the toms work. But everything is really beautifully full and gorgeous! Congrats! :clap: :tu:

Thanks for advices. I guess I really need better monitors (or ears :lol: )
I'll see what I can do. Already my processor is dieing on me and will be quite a task to separate drum tracks... for now only the snare is separate (with more reverb) and the rest all to one channel.

Post

AH, where's the crying smily... :cry: ...there, that's me thinking about my beautiful monitors, rotting away in my garage, AAAaaaahhhauhuhuh, damn it! I'm waiting for us buying a home so I can set up my studio and just don't wonna get through that trouble of setting up inbetween. So I'm all on headphones right now, which is truely an ugly way to judge any recordings, but at least I'm used to it for over 2 decades. It's the snare that drags the drums into the mud. If you carefully weight the reverbs brightness to the one side, it will create a more separated sense of room and give the snare itself some crispness before the reverb. Also it seems as though you've given no delay to the reverb, pushing the snare way down the hallway. I know what effect you want to get and have done the same kinda thing before myself, but I've learned to understand some things differently in regards to mix and what it tries to simulate/accomplish. It's a good idea to imagine the physics of a space and how long sound travels to suggest certain distances. At the same time you have to keep a keen I on the frequencies in the mix to keep a clean balance to enable the listener to isolate sounds more clearly. It gives orientation. Once things become muddy, it becomes ever so slightly less pleasant, you know. I was always in love and horribly annoyed with mixing at the same time. That might explain for why I needed the crying smily up there, hehe...(I milder tear would've shown it better, what's with the hysteria?)

Anyway, I still feel like I shouldn't give tips, since I have to learn soooo much more and still consider myself inadequate in that regard, but still...I humbly offer you my impressions and most of them are full of joy with what you've created!

Hey Sorohanro, Was that you actually playing the acoustic guitar live ??

@Taron

Thanks for the tips, I will try to see what & how can I do.
I want this 80s~90s snare (if you understand what I try to say) with a lot of reverb, but I have actually no idea what type of reverb I should use, how should I put, what to tweak...
I gues I will put the snare in center, the reverb on a send and some widening plugin to push the reverb to the sides.

@funk01
Yep, that's me playing all the guitars, acoustic and electric.
Shows that I'm a trumpet player, isn't it ? :lol:
Gear used:
acoustic guitar - Fender CD-60CE Nat
electric guitar - Gibson LesPaul Traditional
midi controler - M-Audio Radium 49
soundcard - M-Audio Audiophile Delta 192
preamp - Art Tube MP Project Series

Track recorded in Mu.Lab 3 :hihi:

Updated version, any tip for mixing is much appreciated.

Alright, just from the top of my head. Hook a parametric EQ behind the snare and find out which mid or lower mid frequencies push too hard. To do that, set the Q factor a bit higher to 30 or 40. Crank Gain all the way up. Then carefully dial through the Frequencies until you find the ugliest lower mid, probably between 390 and 700 or so or in the mid range between 600 and 2000. When you've found it, turn the gain all the way down to cut out those frequencies. Now check what it feels altogether.
Also, don't hesitate to set some accents as opposed to keeping the snare at full blast each time it hits.
Your masters are still the guitars and you don't want to smack them in the face with the snare. The snare is supposed to push passionately, but like an embrace.
You may even help it by taking the snare down in volume and boost the higher frequencies of it 3000 to 16000. That would take a way all of the bottom, which you don't really want, but you can nudge it from there. However, I'd try the first idea first.

A joy for the musical heart :)
