Hey all...I'm in the process of mixing my own album and I basically have every track sounding good, except for a couple of problems...hopefully you can help answer them for me and/or give me suggestions..here they are:
A. If the mix screen (ProTools) volume is max'd on certain tracks in a song, the drums for instance, but I still want them louder in the final mix, what effect can I put on them to make them louder without changing their sound?
B. If a whole track of vocals sounds great, except for a few spots where high notes are hit and those spots are lightly clipping and/or distorting, how can I fix this without altering the rest of the vocal track?
C. Opposite of the last problem, if a track in the mix is way too deep, for instance, the bass guitarline, and some of the lower notes clip and/or distort, how can I fix these to make them sound good without altering the rest of the bass guitarline?
D. Simple: How can I make my drumlines crisper/more compact?
E. Simple: How can I lessen the amount of bass in the bass drums? (Some get way too distorted..not a clean kick)
F. Simple: How can I increase the amount of bass in the bass drums? (Some sound way too weak)
Those are the only problems I'm having in my mixes...and they're pretty big problems..I'd appreciate help--thank you!
