I am coming a long way in tracking. Now, I have cool stereo tracks of guitars, good "fat" bass sounds...kick drums are there...etc. etc. etc.
When I listen to the "mix" though (on my HR824s), everything feels like it has a lot of space, like it is open, etc.
I used to think hey, this is great...this will sound awesome on my stereo or in the car. But, when I listen to it there, it just sounds "live" and "amateur" - like there really is no "mix" to it.
Then, I listen to good commercial recordings on the monitors - and they sound really bland, or even "dull". Then you put them in the car and boom, they come alive.
So obviously, I need to get my stuff to sound "dull" down there. How do I do this?
Also, the commercial CDs come together so "closely" where all of my tracks still have this sense of space...how do I get everything to just mesh like that?
Make it sound like it was done in a recording studio - not like a live sound.
I have other mix issues...but this is the big one, for now.
