Oh no! I just finished reading the PDF version of Why Do Your Recordings Sound Like Ass and now I have something else to read. A quick scan of this reveals that it's worth a closer look, though. The more perspectives I can get on this stuff the more confident I'm getting in my abilities to actually make my stuff sound good.

Thanks for sharing this great resource. Now all I need is more time in my life...

I just finished that last PDF I grabbed & noticed that the date was 2011/02/28!!

So I figured I better see if you were still at it, and it is fantastic that ya are, Thank You for all the hard work!

carvingCode · 04-15-2012, 09:42 AM

Thanks. Looks like just what I've been needing.

Pac · 04-15-2012, 10:12 AM

Grazie mille ! I didn't know there's stuff like this for free. The author should sell it (as I already have my copy, that is

.

mabian · 04-15-2012, 01:19 PM

Yeah, and I'm still on it, I plan to release an update by the end of April.

In the meanwhile, I've stumbled on some other very cool websites exposing amazing information (with videos and audible examples in some cases!) on mixing and music production in general:

http://simplyrecordingpodcast.com/

http://therecordingrevolution.com/.
Absolutely check their "5 minutes for a better mix" video series, http://therecordingrevolution.com/5minutes/, and their free eBook about #1 rule in recording (less is more, pure gold!).

http://www.homestudiocorner.com/

Note: I'm not commercially involved with any of the above websites, I'm simply trying to use the reference material they publish to improve my mixing and production skills.

Cheers,
Mario

Smurf · 04-15-2012, 01:38 PM

Yup, I have recommended both Graham's & Joes sites since last year, a LOT of good info on them!

Cosmic · 04-15-2012, 01:49 PM

Sweet!

Keep up the good work..please!

Panic · 04-23-2012, 03:13 PM

Thanks for the making this. I only wish it was organized by subject instead of date.

Panic · 04-23-2012, 04:56 PM

btw, here's a thread Kim started on Harmony Central almost a decade ago. Lots of interesting stuff, if anyone cares to read through it.

The Composition Thread:

http://acapella.harmony-central.com/...osition-Thread

*edit* after perusing the blog dump it seems most of what is valuable in the composition thread is in the blog as well, so probably no need to wade through the thread.

Kundalinguist · 04-23-2012, 05:08 PM

Yes, Mario. Thank you as always.

cyrilfb · 06-19-2012, 10:03 AM

All the suggestions in this thread are very valuable to me as a relative newb. The "5 minutes to a better mix" is great! I will jump into the pdf as soon as I can.

Thanks Mabian,

Cy Ball
