New Song "Tangled Up in Red" (Heavy Rock, Superior 2.0, KRK Rokit6+Sub) _____________
new song I recorded today called "Tangled up in Red", listen to it here: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11316214
it is a bit modern rock sounding. I got my new mixing setup and figured out how to use Toontrack Superior 2.0 with Reaper. Any feedback/constructive criticism is appreciated. Here is my review:
TOONTRACK SUPERIOR 2.0:
still not sure how to work out the glitches, I plan to spend more time playing guitar instead I still cant get the snare to sound like most of my recordings, still sounds like a guillotine. I have the samples for ezdrummer so I have to use ezdrummer to select samples (not sure why) and then I am stuck with the ezdrummer drumset. ok so lots of glitches stuff that I should read the manual for. Using one track for all drums. nice compression/eq stuff for individual drums and can tune the frequencies. I was doing all this stuff with separate plugins with ezdrummer, so I am not using Superior 2.0 to its full potential. not planning to read the manual any time soon. BOTTOM LINE: I recommend ezdrummer, and not spending extra for Superior 2.0 unless you are really into learning the software.
KRK ROKIT 6 SPEAKERS AND SUBWOOFER:
I dont think the subwoofer is overkill, cause I cant eliminate unwanted low frequencies without it, and my bass levels are super out of wack without it, even with the krk6s. I was using my M-Audio Studiopro 3s 80$ pair for everything which were generally acurate but sound pretty bad with now low end at all for the 3" speakers. so now I am getting a 3d sound that is pretty amazing! not planning to soundproof as my desk is in my apartment between my kitchen and living room next to 2 walls so frequencies are bouncing around really weird no way to correct it. Pretty fun mixing with these speakers though, I can manipulate the bass tones alot more and hear what my fav recordings from Velvet Revolver and Radiohead and Soundgarden are like. I am still doing entry level stuff like overcompressing on the Master squishing. so its fun messing with these but they are for limited application for me cause I dont spend alot of time mixing, they just sound amazing for all music in general, accuracy may be lost, hard to compare to past speaker. but I feel that my music is much more crisp as I can definitely hear the annoying frequencies that need to be deleted from each instrumental part. All in all, very fun new toys that will give me years of happy fun timez!!! The sub really brings these 6"ers to a new crazy level, way different with them, and I really appreciate them, me being predominantly a bassist and wanting to easily hear the basslines to all music
cheers
