I may just be my own worst critic but im never happy with how anythings sounding and i could fool around for hours and never get it any closer to what i want it to sound like.
There are 3 or 4 stages if ive read correctly and im always stuck at level 2/3 depending on how many stages there is.
I can record all the tracks...... then its the next part i struggle badly with... getting correct levels for all tracks together... and eq/comp/reverb etc...
I understand the basics of eq and trying to give each track no conflicting frequencies.. also trying to remove bad frequencies etc... but i dont have the ear for it or at least im not sure if im cutting a good frequency or a bad one.
I have watched a few conflicting videos so this may be why....
1st video raised the gain up +12 and the swooped from left to right until there was some extreme noise cant remember the word was it dissonance ? then they boosted this frequency by 6db however ive seen others cutting this as they described it as a troublesome frequency.
What i would really need is a video of a guy mixing a whole song and being able to see what they are doing and hearing on the monitor to see what they listen for and how they overcome things etc... indie/rock.
any tips as its frstraiting me that i have 100s of songs and have been constantly going over the same 3 songs trying to make them sound how i like.... big issue i have is more than 2 guitars for starters... years ago i used to record with one or 2 parts and it was easier that third guitar is where im needing to get better at eq for.
one panned laft... one panned right... one down centre and then eq all to give serperation.
thanks
