I'm trying to get the hang of mixing my own recordings <not that anyone else was doing it it before>, and I can't seem to settle on anything!!
I record mostly rock/techno genre stuff and I'm not sure what to go for in my mixing. I have tried spreading out everything very far, drums, vocals, guitars, bass.. <well not really bass>, and synth in various ways. I thinks it sounds all right. Very Stereo..Then I start to hear other recordings <commercial> and I tend to hear drums, bass and lead vocals stay in the middle, and the guitar is all over the rest. Is there a reasoning behind this? I think mine sound more mixed "stereo" and very neat.
I'm sure I've missed the Mixing 101 course on what the ultimate goal is, but everywhere I look are just tips on mixing techniques rather than guidelines or theory behind placements.
Any thoughts?? Space
