Oh, looking back I see that I was extremely unclear in my first post, but I'm talking about my final mixdown here. I've mixed everything down somewhat to my liking and now I'm trying to raise the overall volume w/out clipping. Thanks for your help.

Yeah, I'm trying to raise the overall volume of the track, and get all our tracks to the same volume.

When I raise the volume through hard limiting more than 4 or 5 decibals I find that the high ends (specifically cymbal crashes) begin to distort. Also, in some cases the extreme low end (i.e. kick drum) distorts. I've tried compressing the track before hard limiting, as well as hard limiting...

Thanks for the responses! Well, I wasn't trying to make a "crazy-pan-all-over-the-placem mix," :) but I was having problems in the guitar solo, and outro keeping the guitar parts from getting muddled up with each other. Any suggestions for that. During the guitar solo, I've got the keyboards...

Those 16ths are fun to play, especially live when the song gets started a little too fast. Yeah, that guitar is a little weak. It's hard to get it to cut through the mix. Anyone have any suggestions? All comments are welcome. I'd love all the help I can get!

My band is recording a demo, with a studio in a box - we were planning on mixing it in Cool Edit. Now, our guitar player really wants to use Garage Band, because he just got a brand new Mac and he wants to play with it. Does anyone know how these two programs compare?

I'm in a country rock/ indie rock band and we're about to do some recording, so I've decided that its time to finally buy a new snare. I currently have a Tama Starclassic 3.5"x13" (i think on that 13" part). Its pitch is too high for the music we're doing, so I was looking to go to at least a...
