[Tony M]

The first four tunes in my new home studio. Please comment on the
recording quality. Is it too bassy? Is it loud enough?

PC with protools 6.4 LE
Interface is Digidesign Digi 001
I have SM81s and SM57s
Amp is a Marshall JCM 900
Bass goes into the Digidesign Digi 001
Drum kit is a Ludwig from their custom shop.
Most guitar is Les Paul, some is Strat
The singer(the part I don't do) is using a BlueBerry mic
The first song with a piano part is something i strung together form
one of those sample CDs
All effects and master are via numerous protool plugins.

You will also get some nice comments ... but first a bit of serious flaming,
for your own good ... O;-)

Here are the level statistics for 10 arbitrarily chosen seconds in the
middle of lbtb:

Left Right
iMin Sample Value: -32768 -32768
Max Sample Value: 32767 32767
Peak Amplitude: 0 dB 0 dB
Possibly Clipped: 3631 1981

I don't know what you did to it, but you should have done less. Also you
should take care to stay well out of the upper 2 dB's with anything you
encode as mp3's because there WILL be overshoot in the encode-decode process
that will clip audio that is at least in the upper dB.

DC Offset: -.01 -.011
Minimum RMS Power: -11.85 dB -12.26 dB
Maximum RMS Power: -5.67 dB -6.86 dB
Average RMS Power: -7.73 dB -8.46 dB
It is unlikely that the clipping referred to above i less than 6 dB, there
is NO WAY healthy audio get that loud an average.
Total RMS Power: -7.7 dB -8.41 dB
Actual Bit Depth: 16 Bits 16 Bits
Using RMS Window of 300 ms

You have a nice open sound prior to wrecking it, but wreck it you do.

Don't know about the mic, but I like the performance.

Try to learn less at a time. First get the recording right. Then get the mix
right using no dynamics range modification of any kind. What you have is
perfectly able to sound very well indeed. Go back to the recorded tracks and
redo and do less. It can get very good.

I actively dislike the grungy bass guitar sound and would much prefer the
sound of an omni on the loudspeaker a dual digit number of inches from the
box.
For a first attempt it is very good. I certainly did a lot worse on one
occasion .... di'ed guitar, deliciously distorted sound in the recording,
was happy until guitar player listened and wasn't. You guess why .... O;-)

Thank you for sharing .... it is way too mashed as it is. Don't do that, you
leave no choices to the mastering engineer and fm default processing on top
of what you have done will take it belong unbearable. Tonal balance not
commented on, I just listened on a pair of small earphonest that came with a
creative zen to verify that it sounds as smashed as it looks. Just another
brick in the wall ...


Kind regards

Bass could be tighter for my tastes.
Worst part is the drum sound - very dry - were the drum heads taped/damped
excessively?

No, they weren't taped or anyting. I use an SM57 on the snare(one on
top one on bottom), SM81s for the right and left aux set up(about 2
feet back) and I have a kick mic, the name of which escapes me.

Bass is too "blurry"..i have to figure out how to tighten it up.


Thx man, I really appreciate the advice.
