PJH Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I'm in the process of remixing my second solo album which was released in 2013. The album was recorded initially using Sonar X3. I opened the project in CBB and none of my third party plugins loaded. I decided to remix this track but only using the Pro Channel and the the plugins that came with Cakewalk. (Eq, compression, reverb etc) Guitar was recorded the old school way (miced up Marshall) using an MI Audio Crunchbox. The video was shot in standard definition back then so I tried the upscaling feature in Vegas to HD as a test and then re edited the video as well. It's come out much better than I expected. It also makes me think that maybe less is more regarding amount of third party plugins installed on my system. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too often I jump on the “next best thing”. When I should just learn the tools I have. (sub “we” for “I” if you like) Really enjoyed this. Especially Larry, man can he drum! Hearing the cymbals better now… Left my like and comment on YouTube… t Edited March 26 by DeeringAmps spelling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Great rockin' track, enjoyed it! It sounds great, on my headphones the crunch rhythm is over powering the lead a bit, I don't know if the rhythm is slightly loud or the lead could be a little more up front. Love your playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're always looking for that "silver bullet" to make things sound better. Yep, I don't know what I would do without Larry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your comments! Yes, I prefer the solo guitar to a bit "in the mix" instead of upfront. I like the backing guitars giving the track more power. Cheers!
