YourMotherShouldKnow Posted December 17, 2003 Author Share Posted December 17, 2003 It's done! Well the mixing is done. To you guys who said it would take a lot longer than 2 weeks to mix it: you were right! My brother totally saved my arse on it by pointing out the high end on the guitars on this one. As it turns out there was too much high end on just about all the guitars. I ended using the the track EQ in SONAR 3 and went around 3db down with a high end shelf from 2.10 up. Using reference CDs I noticed that a lot of the screaming high guitar bends will have the top end moved down. Anyhow, I'm really happy with the mixes as of tonight and if there is a significant improvement through mastering than HOT DAMN I'm gonna be a happy camper. Kylen, I tried that Ultrafunk thing on the spoken voices but didn't really understand how it worked haha. I pretty much left the voices alone.

I'm leaving that to the mastering engineer. I was conservative with reverb, using just a touch on things. I mean as little as possible where you can still hear it. I used more delays that thump with the rythym but again, way low in the mix. The 3 dimensional aspect that Griffinator talked about above is interesting. My EQ skills are definitely better (the top to bottom aspect), my panning (left to right aspect) is probably still iffy. I'm not sure why I would want to put one instrument 67% left and not 37% left, and ambience (the depth aspect) I don't feel great about. It's so easy to ruin a song with too much reverb and delay. I kept it as dry as possible to be safe. And still, it's by no means dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourMotherShouldKnow Posted May 16, 2004 Author Share Posted May 16, 2004 :D :D :D :D :D Finally this CD is being duplicated and packaged! Kylen, I thought you were nutz when you said to expect it to take a lot longer to mix but it turns out you were eggsactly right! Thanks so much for all your help. Ken and Halljams, you guys saved like 3 songs with advice about using the multi-band compressor (different thread). I put some tunes up on [url=http://www.broadjam.com]broadjam.com[/url] if you wanna hear the final product. You gotta search for DoubleLight in the ARTIST category. Hope you find something you like!
