Gemini Girl- Rock/Pop

(Just for curiosity sake more than anything...just my observations on this set-up) I'd try pulling back the rythm gtr(s) a notch....listening with fresh ears, it seems to distract from the rest and, at loud volumes, gets a little "grating" or "harsh" (hi mid in it)...may find by doing that it'll pull everything up to make it sound fuller and less midrange-y/harsh sounding...everything sounds great though, that's just my observation...going to re-adjust my set-up here I think today now that the drivers are worked-in as alot of those issues may be related to the set-up itself/have a dbx graphic eq installed before the power amp to get it as flat as possible at nearfield..
Anyway, sounds good!

It's still bugging the heck outta me , I'll try again !  Coulda written half a dozen new songs the tim I spent on this.

The room kits seem good, the guy who owns the company gives lots of advice on Sounds on Sound forums and seems pretty helpful , but the DIY option will work out much cheaper and just as good if you can bear to do any more work !

Lots of info for making broadband absorbers all over the web.  You can get all the basics done for alot less than buying ready made.

Hi Mark...what exactly in mix is annoying you? (just curious! )
As for the room stuff, still a LONG way off as whoever originally finished this basement did a hack/penny pinching job with nothing even close to building code..even 20 years ago....ideally,finished want a "resale friendly" type of look...pretty close to what Mark (Gerk) did with his room, which seems to be the "in" look around these parts....minus the lcd projector and big console unfortunately!
(do want to do it during the winter months..suspicious I may have  very large colony of wasps inside one of the outside walls...hoping they may be "dormant" if I peel back that one wall and theres 10,000 of them in there...just be ready with a big bag)!
Later!

It's my air guitar that's the problem.

Hi Mark...what exactly in mix is annoying you? (just curious! )

Not sure , It just hasn't come out as good as 'Destiny'  , and next to the other songs I've finished here it doesn't sound as good to me....maybe it's a number of things.  I'm not spending anymore time on it    .....' What Do I Do ' came out better I reckon

Obviously Dave's Air Guitar didn't help either  , he needs to sort his acoustics out also

  Gotta love that air guitar! Anyway, assuming you're eventually going to load them all up into a CD/album...or whatever they call it these days , they will all have to be remastered and such anyway to sound cohesive...same deal with the CBZ stuff or any albums people are working on here...that IS the one redeeming factor in this digital daw stuff (along with editing!), just reload it down the road and keep going...put a fork in it, as Tricia would say!
