Such a sad loss. This fine man made a few classic songs. https://apple.news/AWRYcK472TkOv0ZEvouUrwQ

Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve been enjoying listening to this today...

This sounds impossibe! So it's Bass > fx pedal > Amp > audio interface > Mac with LPX. Whatever is going into the interface is what Logic is going to record (less any VST fx). I'm looking forward to hearing what the outcome is.

This has to be one of my fave tracks with a bass drop, it comes in at 38 secs. Have a decent pair of speakers or cans.

Cheers. Just had a look at that & the first 2 on the list I've been using for years, just not as collab. I've just signed up for Bandlab & had a wee play about & it seems to tick the boxes I need, but any other options are welcome. I'm gonna go & have a look at Blend & Splice for the collab side.

Hey all, Whilst I'm in iso with the rona, I've decided to do some songwriting with some friends via the web. I'd like everyone to be able to see what's happening as we work on the song(s). It'd probably start with one of us writing a simple chord arrangement & posting it, then each person adding parts, changing layout, etc. Is there any good websites or online software for this? The only one I've looked at in the past was Ohm Studio (which I'm gonna have another look at).

I’m really enjoying Tame Impala’s new album, the slow rush. Some nice bass lines on there too.

I’ll share it on some Scottish FB music pages (Perth, Tayside & Stirling) if it hasn’t been already.

I’ve been enjoying listening to this young lady quite a lot recently.

I’m going for a lawnmower solo. I was gonna try a bass solo, but no one wants to hear one of those!

Is it Daft Punk, Around The World? I’m sure I can come up with something for this month 😼

Well done. 🤟

Been working a bit more on this & feel like I'm getting somewhere. I feel it's went from amateure sounding to home studio. Still not there yet, but going in the right direction.

I think anyone covering a song shoudn't try to make it a carbon copy. No song is off limits to be covered (though I agree with Teebs, Oasis are dire).

That's what you get when you ask a witch doctor for a little head.

Sorry, I thought you were looking to swap. I could do you something like this, but on a bigger rock...

I updated my track (same track, just mixed a little better). If the link doesn't show in the list, then it's here... https://soundcloud.com/gxmix/steven-seagulls-tiny-house Gonna have a listen to the others. 😎

Cheers Ted. I updated the track on SC & wish I would have kept the original to compare. Though I put the most recent one as “Give me a sine” & the one before as “A sine” I’ll update SC with the first version if I haven’t deleted it.

Update... Had a listen in the car, made some tweaks & then used a multimeter plug in to help balance things out.

I've took most of the advice given (not been to a studio yet & can't afford outboard just now 😂). I've also watched a video on cleaning up the track and learned that the multipressor can be used as an EQ on the master out. Here's what I've done... https://soundcloud.com/gxmix/a-sine

Cheers @tedmanzie I’ll try some of your tips over the next few days. I’m not a fan of the kick either (it’s 2 different kicks layered). I’ll spend a bit more time panning things & take your advice on reverbs too. I’m not against option 2, but I have no money for a mix engineer, though I might try in the not too distant future.

You guys have given me some great advice here so far. I've been putting it to use on a track I'm working on (vocals were recorded by someone else, but all the rest is mine). Still sounds unfinished to me. Should I bounce the individual stems to audio stems, then mix & master?

I don't think it's the gear, I think it's me. I'll upload something I'm working on later to give you an idea (vocals are recorded by a professional & are from another song, it's a remix I'm doing), but even the Mrs says my tracks don't sound like finished songs & the instruments sound "cheap". I'll have a look at local studios & see what they have.

Cheers for this. Unfortunately, Variety of Sound only make Wondows plug ins (noting for Mac). But... You have helped me to discover that Logic has it's own tape saturation plug in (in the guise of a tape delay), so I'm about to give that a try. I'll try some of your other advice too.

I’m sure there was something similar to this a while ago, but I couldn’t find it. My sounds in my tracks always sound very amateur. No matter what I do, I feel like I’m polishing jobby. Ive not spent a fortune on sound equipment, I have Logic Pro X as my daw & apart from the stock plug ins, I have Roli Equator, Strobe 2 & Cypher 2 (both from FXpansions) & a couple of NI fx plug ins. I’ve heard tracks from other people using similar gear & their mixes sound like songs. Mine sound like a bunch of tracks playing at the same time. I have an NI KA6 audio interface to record my bass or guitar, but I rarely record as I’m never happy with the results. Can anyone help where I’m going wrong? Here’s a short house track to give you an idea of what I mean.
