Hey all, I've been doing some home recording for bands I've played in for years, but I've always struggled to produce mixes that are both full, and dynamic sounding.

I've come to realize that I've overcooked my previous mixes do to bad listening environments, so I'm using my ears AND eyes with metering. Let me know about my latest effort on a previously posted tune, "Away From It All". The higher numbered track is the most recent mix.
thx

As an exercise I've been recording a N4N version of Stairway in my little home studio otherwise known as the spare bedroom that I keep all my gear in... And I've got a question about what I'm hearing with respect the the reverb on the acoustic guitar that opens up the song in the original Zeppelin mix.

I've been actively browsing Samplitude threads to learn about the product and scooped an older copy from my music store clearanced out for $100.00 . It's Samplitude 11, I realize it's not the latest and greatest but I didn't mind putting out 100.00 to play with it ... (I'm sure there must be an upgrade option as well)...

Hi All -

I've got a new one to share. This week's songwriting club phrase/word was 'toxic." Another last minute "a-ha" and my wife having me on a "juicing reboot" were the inspiration. Hope you dig it! Thanks for listening.

I'd be thrilled if anyone can offer advice with anything I can do to this track.

The situation:
The recording was made at an Old Town Hall in this room. It's so reverberant that when I got there to set up it was just the organizer and myself talking from opposite sides of the room and could barely hear what he was saying because everything was bouncing off the walls like mad.

Sean sent me a PM and asked me if I might take shot at explaining Parallel Compression ( from here on out, we'll refer to this as PC, and not as a refernce to my esteemed colleague PC/ Marco. ;) ). Sean thought that perhaps those who are newer - or more novice mixers - might benefit from an explanation.
