Mixing horns with guitar driven blues
Forums
Hey Everyone,
I've been playing around with the Horns virtual instrument in Logic again and come up with the attached track. What do people think? Is it a little too busy in places.. (?) I was going for a big-band blues funk kind of vibe.
- I used Bias Amp 2 for guitar amp simulation (I played all parts on a LP 2015 Traditional).

Mixing and mastering critique

The track is a combo/cross of electronic and orchestral (scoring) stuff, based on a rather unusual harmonic/rhythmic structure.
The following is the gear I used on this track:

Big-band blues with a hint of metal
Forums
Hey all, I've been experimenting with a couple of things here:
- Using logic pro's 'envelope' plugin on snare, kick and toms to add punch (I gather this is like a poor man's SPL transient designer -- I'm still tempted by this plugin , but I'm quite happy with logic pro's version). I'm quite happy with the drum mix on this one, what do other people think?

An instrumental prog metal song. Appreciate any feedback!
Forums
Hey all, this is an instrumental progressive metal track I've just spent the week recording. I'm mixing on rather crappy headphones due to space limitations / not wanting to annoy the neighbours, etc., so I'm not sure how well I can trust my ears.. Would appreciate any feedback!
Thanks,
Ben.

Mixing down to 16-bit
Forums
Hey everybody,
I have recorded my songs in 24-bit, and as the last part of the process, as I am mastering, I am also using a 'UV22HR' plugin to convert into 16 as I create the WAV files. At least that's my understanding. However, I'm reading now that I should mix to the same bit rate as my session was recorded in.
