just wondering....
I've recorded all my tracks using sonar and when I try to get all the levels right using volume faders it just never sounds right.... it is most probably my ears and not being able to tell when something is too loud or quiet... or thinking something should be louder when it is already loud enough...
but what I was wondering is can a song be recorded and finished just recording and adjusting levels ? or is eq,reverb,compression and the likes always needed to get a good final mix ?
because i'm as clued up to the point of hitting record and adjusting levels and adding a few reverb/echo/chorus effects but when it comes to compression and eq I have no idea... and don't fancy needing to take a course on it as I barely get time to myself to sit and record as it is.
so can a good sounding song be made from just recording and level adjustment alone or am I going to need to get a book on how to get it sounding right ?
cheers guys and gals
