Timbre+ Eastside

Forget me by Lewis Capaldi performed by one of Timbre's rostered bands, The Elastic Band! The Elastic Band plays every Sunday evening and while they're usually a 4 piece acoustic band, they gave the audience who came down to celebrate Deepavali/Diwali at Timbre+ Eastside by coming as a full band with bass, keyboards and drums. 

Their entire performance was mixed on a Behringer X32 and sounded great with the house system, in my opinion. Because of that, I decided to record it! I hope the mix translated well in the recording. 

Enjoy!

Hotel California by The Eagles performed by Rock Revival
At Timbre+ Eastside once again! Tonight's band is new to Timbre and it is made of mostly veterans in Singapore's classic rock scene. Though not heard in this recording, they ran into troubles while trying to acquaint themselves to Timbre's stage. Mostly technical and technological issues. However, they put their decades worth of experience when they still manage to engage and interact with their audience while troubleshooting or fixing issues.

They are new to Timbre as I am new to them as well. I am not entirely pleased with my mix, but I decided to add it in the uploads to not only have it for reference for the future but to get feedback too! Let me know how I could improve!

Recorded on a Behringer X32 Producer

Thank you and enjoy!!

Set Fire to the Rain by Adele performed by Rock Revival!

its been a while since I've posted a recording but Im glad to be posting again! As usual, its always an occasion at Timbre+ Eastside every Sunday evening and it'll be such a waste not to record the amazing performance, brought to you by Rock Revival! There is so much to love about this band! The vocalist did so great despite feeling under the weather with a sore throat. Also check out the blazing fast guitar solo that elevated an already-amazing song and the whole vibe was pretty great! 

Mixed and recorded on a Behringer X32 !

Enjoy! 

*ps picture was taken long before this performance, just wanted to show off my guitar lmao

I Hate Myself For Loving You by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Performed by Rock Revival

I'm gonna be honest, I really don't know how to further improve the quality of the recordings. I have experimented on quite a couple of things to improve the quality of my mixes in the venue, which is what you are hearing now! The Recording always suffers :(

The main problem of this stage is that there is one monitor that is almost as old as me that LOVES to feedback due to years of being overdriven, however, with some EQ trickery, I managed to tame it just a bit, as such, giving me more wiggle room for increased gain. Previously, the vocalists struggled to hear themselves - believe me, I was sending them plenty of themselves on the console but the speakers could not deliver. You still can hear the occasional feedback.

Another problem that I have found in in this mix (and most of my mixes generally) is that I may have given the guitars and keys a little bit too much space and dynamic range. 

I tried to improve the overall clarity of the vocalist. I tried my very best to keep the vocals it its own spectrum and upped the compression ever so slightly. This worked wonderfully in the venue because of that increased gain!

Last good thing about today's sets was that we no longer have overbearing bass!

As always, mixed and recorded on a Behringer X32. Not sure where that horrendous buzzing is coming from but I could not - for the life of me - figure out where its coming from so I just accepted it.
