This is my very first mix of my band. The drums and guitar did an initial take, with the intention that we were going to re-track both. I got the guitar re-recorded, but the drummer hasn't had time to come in and re-track. Hopefully we can get him in to get a better take, but I figured I would work with what I had and see how it came out. The gear used was pretty budget (1010lt and Audio Buddy Pre-Amps). I DI'ed the bass, (I'm the bass player) but it had a lot of thumb noise no matter how I tracked it (various mic's, DI). I guess that's active pickups for you...
Guitar was recorded with an SM57. Drums had an AKG D112 for the kick, MXL 990 for overhead and SM57 on the snare. The kick sounded (sounds) like mush when solo'ed.
Vocals were done with an MXL 990 and an SM58. The pre-amps were 2 Audio Buddies, and Two of the 1010lt's XLR pre-amps.
I tried my best to keep dynamics in mind and do what sounded good for the mix. Like I said it was my very first recording/mixing.
