Free Remastering/Mixing

[Wintermute]

That's right, free stuff.

Partly for practise, and partly as a part of future plans to earn a little income during the academic year, I'm basically offering to try and improve your songs.

For the low low price of £0, I will remaster/mix a song you've recorded, if you send me the original project file, and the original source files. NOT the final mp3.

Largely first come first serve, but there'll be some I'll be able to help more than others, and I'll give them priority, most likely.

Anyone interested?

Check if you can remaster any of those songs. If you're interested, shoot me an email to 4for1.band attt gmail.com Then the others of the band can read it too and we have your email to send you the files. :)

Good luck, Alex. I need to record badly but, before that, I need to be able to play bass.

Kilian - emailed. I reckon I can make significant improvements to the recording of Twentyone, and in all aspects bar the recording it's a great track. :)


Edit - someone has responded, and I have no idea what they're saying. :lol:

Edit2 - Babelfish has translated most of it, well enough that I got the gist. Except for the word 'gozer'.

Edit3 - And a quick quizzing of the Mod team's resident Belgian has solved that. :)

How about "Cry Baby"? Either that or "One Small Something", I'm not really happy with that one.

Hmm... there is stuff to be done, no doubt, but I can do a lot more with Kilian's stuff. With solo performances, there are far fewer factors to consider. It mostly comes down to tone and timing, and timing is very hard to correct when there are continuous effects running. :)

I could clean up the tracks a little, reduce background noise, but in honesty I think a lot of the errors come from small mistakes while playing - not usually worth cleaning up in production, as opposed to just recording it again.

If I were to sit down and record it with you, I reckon I could make a difference, but there's only so much I can do with that post-production.

[Rollo47]

No worries, I did think it would a bit of a stretch :)

Oops !

That was me in a hurry, normally I just respond with the Reply button and change the 'to'. Then you get another tab and other people can read a little comment underneath your email. :lol:

My guitarist is looking up the tracks when he's home tomorrow.

[RHCPdave]

I am indeed interested. How would i go about sending you the files?

[skingle]

I'll get back to you with this. Very interested.

If you could take a listen to these tracks and tell me if/how you could improve them, then i'll mail a DVD of all three tracks on it. Bear in mind all tracks are copyrighted to Idiom :).

[Efrim]

If/when you get the time, I'd be interested too.

However, they're all a single track....

Perhaps I should explain in a little more detail what I'm doing here - my housemate and myself are looking into starting an independant audio business. Recording, gear hire, live work, library music, online remastering, anything we can make money off, basically.

So soon we'll start charging for this!

But we figure people will be a lot more willing if we can provide a few examples of what we're doing. Before and after clips. So the deal's pretty simple:

We have a good listen to your track, and see how we can improve it. If we reckon it's got potential, we'll mix and master it for free. If you like what we've done with it, we'd like permission to use the track for advertising purposes. All rights would remain yours, and you would be given full credit, and links to your site. If you prefer, we could just use a clip.

If you don't like what we've done, of course we won't use your song without permission.



In order for us to mix properly, the song MUST be fully editable. Individual .wavs (preferably) or .mp3s for each instrument, for instance, or the original Cubase/Audacity/whatever project files. There's very little we can do with a song that's already been exported as an mp3.

As for how you'd send the files... a nice big .zip file would be ideal, stuck on Yousendit, or emailed to me at alex@realppl.co.uk - you can send by post if you prefer, drop me an email and I'll give you an address.

And of course, since we're looking for songs we can make a drastic improvement to, and we don't need that many, I'm afraid at this stage we're being quite selective... :thumb:

Bump - anymore people?

And Kilian - did you manage to dig those tracks up?

[British Kid]

can you do anything with these?

http://www.myspace.com/tambland

unfortunately though, the best i can get you is .wav or .mp3 files for each track (vox, drums, guitar, bass) as i did it on an analogue 4-track and not protools or anything like that.

that work?

[Nick]

I wouldn't mind if you gave my potential R&M entry a look over

it's due saturday, and I suck at mixing

That's fine - and I'll happily give it a go, but know it's very difficult to take an out-of-tune recording and make it right. Not impossible, but very hard. So the vocals will take a long time, and probably come out a little weird.

They sound pretty good already, frankly. :)

I can only see very minor changes I'd make. For instance, there's seldom any point heavily panning a deep bass line, as it'll only make a difference to a listener on headphones. Because of the way low frequences spread so readily, it's very hard to distinguish which direction they're really coming from. That's why even surround sound setups usually only have one subwoofer.

Complete side-note, Distinct Deviation is particularly good. You should enter the Leagues some time.

[naut]

thanks. yeah, that's actually the biggest problem i was trying to work out when mixing them. i just couldn't settle on anything...or couldn't figure out what the hell i was doing wrong...i don't know.

by the way, what Leagues?
