for the drums, do you hear the phasing more in the cymbals or the snare during the song? the snare mic is picking up quite a bit of the ride. maybe it's the interaction between the overhead mic and the snare mic that you are hearing?

thanks for the tips i cut the low end on the piano clear room for when the bass and kick comes in. any suggestions for how i can keep the low end, without make things sound muddy? maybe i can keep the low end of the piano in the beginning of the song and roll it back once the other instruments come ...

Hi, Can anyone give my mix a listen and offer up suggestions on what i might want to fix. i'm not exactly sure how well the low end translates, if it's muddy, etc. also, this is the first time i used a tape echo on the vocals. any thoughts on that? thanks. http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~jerchen/mix/le...

any thoughts on how to make my mix better? Sometimes it sounds fine, sometimes it doesn't...i particular any suggestions how i could make the organs sound more "glorious" without making them sound "louder/in your face"

thanks.

hi, i have a song that right now sounds a little vanilla at the moment, like playing in a high school gym. can someone have a listen and offer me some suggestions on how i'd might color the recording a little? overdubs? effects? adding white noise? the feel i'm going for is cross between driving in ...

maybe a more specific question i'm asking, is say i want to record a rock record that has some classical music instruments and sounds, would i be better better off tracking everything through a set a neve / api pres? what if i used the neve / api pres on the rock elements (guitar/rock/etc) and a mor...

the common word heard around here is that api and neve mic pres are great particularly for rock music (drums, guitars, etc.), but what about stuff like classical music? would you guys still use these pres for violins, cellos, pianos? or are mic pres better suited for this sound?

i was thinking ribbon mic might be the way to go. what could i get for less than $500?

I'm an artist who just had an album mixed by an engineer. He did a great job in general, but there are 2 songs that I'm thinking I want something different out of. I'm thinking of either asking him to remix the songs or asking a competitor of him to mix the songs. From an artist perspective, I have ...

Hi, Question for anyone... I'm finishing up an album and will be mixing it in the next few days. I've been tracking digitally through protools. I'll probably mix out of box.. In the past I've mixed down to 1/2" and have liked how it gives the tracks a little extra glue, but I don't have access to a ...
