    Suggestions for final mix please...

    Simple rule of thumb.. With a vocal track mix with the vocal up or at least heard so you can hear the relationship between the instrumentation and the vocals. I tend to mix with most things on. If I am focused on drums I'll have bass, keys and vocals bumping while I tweak the drums... Bryan Giles

    floor tom tracking

    Sjoko, I gotta agree with Hans, tuning a Piano is an Art form. I have been tuning Pianos since I was 12. It was no joke to learn the technique, after that it was learning to make it sing and not just be accurate. Bryan Giles

    floor tom tracking

    Interesting Hans and Sjoko. As an Engineer (stuck here in Detroit. BTW LOL ) I had a drummer teach me to tune drums back in 1996. Of course I dont hang out with drummers, but it is good to hear someone support what he taught me. Tuning the drums to the various notes and even to the key of the...
