Hi folks, I hope this is the right place for this. I’m also hoping that the hive mind can help.
I’m currently mixing my band’s debut ep. I’m very inexperienced at this and at the moment with restrictions in place the only way I can get feedback from the chaps is by rendering a mix to wav and then sending it, via Dropbox and Facebook messenger, to each one then waiting for their views. Often the feedback is a little vague, e.g. “nip the drums up a bit”, or “lead guitar needs something”. I then have to interpret these, remix, render out etc. This is very time consuming and ultimately frustrating. So, I’m looking for an alternative.
With platforms like Zoom now taking off I was wondering if that or something else would allow for a live mixing session with the lads. Obviously, this is only going to work if they can hear the audio directly from the DAW into whatever platform we are using. If what they hear is what’s coming out of my monitors via the crappy mic on my iPad or whatever, it’s not going to work. Audio quality is absolutely vital.
Has anybody any methods they already use or have any ideas how it might work?
Thanks,
Steve.
