Hi All,
I am mixing a project with the following tracks:
I want a big, upfront sound (this is heavy rock/metal), so I was thinking of EQing the original tracks and then routing tracks to groups and compressing them. For example, I would EQ the Melody guitars individually and then route them to a 'Melody Guitars' group where I would apply compression and a little bit of delay. I was under the impression that this is better for making the tracks feel "glued together".
Is this the best approach or is it better for me to use a send on each of the original tracks and not process the group?
Thoughts?
