Just listened to Blinded Barge . Vocals great up front in mix . The guitars nicely blended song construction good barge . Listened to dirty side mirrors . There's a song in there but it needs the polish,and clarity that you have going on in blinded . Maybe go back n revisit that song and redo with what you've learned from blinded . Great stuff like blinded Dude . I hope you don't mind me giving my
Ten cents . Barge go here download this free plugin http://www.slatedigital.com/products/revival I love this plugin gives you a warmth n creaminess to your mixes you will need an ilok dongle to use you may already have one . You can use this Ilok with thousands of plugins for future ref .http://www.slatedigital.com/products/revival An ilok dongle if any of the guys here don't know ,It is what a lot of plugin manufacturers use to protect there software pto tools uses it plus many others it plugs into a USB port on the computer.

I was actually looking to try a plugin the other day that needed the ilok dongle too, whereabouts do you get them?

Totally agree about that second track, there was very little time put into the mix (and it shows) and even less time on the master.
I plan to use "Dirty Side Mirrors" as my thirteenth hidden track on the new album so it will definitely be getting a makeover before it goes on, there's heaps of room for improvements.
I always welcome feedback (and appreciate it), good bad or otherwise, it's how we learn and hopefully improve.
I'm pretty proud of that new mix and while it could probably be done a lot better by someone with more experience, that's about as good as I can do.
If I can get one of those dongles I'll definitely grab a copy of that plugin, cheers heaps man;-)

I'm not 100% certain what type of mic Jones used on his vocals but I've got a sneaking suspicion it was a good ol' SM-58, I'll have to ask him and get back with that.
Everything was recorded using FL-Studio 11 on this track with guitars and bass recorded via M-Audio M-Track straight into Guitar Rig 5.
Guitar preset was "Foo Monkey Grat" which is modeled after a Mesa Dual recto with a bit of added gain, while the bass preset was "Clean Bass"
Guitar used was my PBG "Blacktop", and my trusty B-10 LTD bass.
Main plugins were

Izotope Ozone 4
Guitar Rig 5
Bittersweet II
A1 Stereo Control
Ferox
Anechoic - Room Sim
After - Mastering Processor
Fruity Reverb (stock)
Fruity Parametric EQ (stock)
Fruity Compressor (stock)
Fruity Limiter (stock)
Fruity Stereo Shaper (stock)
Fruity Balance (stock)

Ilok 2, roger that, I'll get hold of one asap, cheers man.
I'm in S.A, 3 hours east of Adelaide so I guess Georges place is out of the question:-(
I'd have to say at this point the best is yet to come considering I listen to mixes I thought were good 3 months ago which now make me cringe. Just keep learning and improving, that's the key I think.

sounds like you guys have got this home recording happening. Wish I had the time to sit down and muck around with the software but I'd rather be building in the workshop haha
