I hope this thread is in the appropriate section. If not, feel free to move it to the right one =)

I'm working on this song for my band, and we got all of the tracking done for everything. I'm in the process of mixing it, but it really isn't turning out to my expectations. We recorded in an amazing room with pretty good gear, and now I'm stuck on the final part: mixing.

Ok I'm a broke songwriter like everyother songwriter in nashville trying to improve my own demos.

What i have:
HP Laptop 3.2 pentium 4, 1gig of ram, 120gig hd, MoTu 828 MKII, M-Audio BX-5a moniters, AKG PERCEPTION 220, and a 15'x20' room dedicated solely to music.

I submit my songs on braodjam.com to get get placed on TV, film, commercials, ..etc.

Does anyone know any other sites or sources where I can submit my music for broadcast?

All copyrights are done and title registrations are done through ASCAP.

I have Cubase SX on a musicXPC computer and for some reason a small song of 6 audio tracks is taking hours to open?
this makes absolutely no sense!
any takers?

Hey all,

I am new to the forum and just finished this mix for my band. Wanted to get some feedback from the community. Here is the link,

Is there a standard dB (max, I guess) that my song should be at to be consistent with all other songs recorded/released?

I.e. that when listening to songs and then mine comes up, the listener doesn't have to reach for the volume knob one way or the other.

Thanks.

Hi, I am not a pro, so (kindly) chase me away if you need to.

I am using Waveburner 1.5 to prepare a master for a collection of 13 songs made with Logic Pro. I've managed to get a good overall level across the 13
songs using only gain. But I've got one outlier that I can't get as loud as the others due to peaks in the snare and tom parts.

Hey everyone, i am new here so please pardon me if this isn't really the place for these questions but I'm desperately in need of help so any advice is greatly appreciated. I just finished writing and recording all the instrumental parts of a new electronica/indie song (think postal service or crystal castles if thats any help for reference).

Another Sunday night session with Carlos Crull on tenor sax and the regular group, minus Dennis on conga.
