I have a question on this... does the side chain cause the entire track to be compressed? I am using a multi band compressor to compress just the narrow band frequency with an offensive ear piercing treble (elec guitar), and it seems to work well. I have not used side chain, but I am curious...

Thanks everyone for the insights, super helpful. Just the notion of how LF's impact the mix was really good to learn. As you can imagine, I over-reacted to the information and pulled out too much LF (rolled off at 100hz) on too many tracks, so I've gone back in as has been suggested and...

Thanks, yes.. I use my ear as the final arbitrator, but my ear was not able to know that the LF were causing the problems (thank you to the board for educating me on this!), so the analyzer helps me to see which instruments are putting info there (below 100hz). However, not using it to decide...

Forgive me for the clickbait title...:-) Per the advice on the board here about creating loud mixes, I went back to my mixes and went all OCD on the low end part of the mixes. I did not blindly put a HPF on things, but listened to every track, and then added appropriately either a HPF or a...

Hmm... something for me to consider. I have been placing my "lead guitar player" panned, in creating the feel of a band with 2 guitarists. I am pretty sure I have heard bands with 2 prolific guitarists do something like this, certainly when they are playing double leads (or leads with...

Thanks Robus... I did indeed redo my drums, and really got the kick and snare to be much better. I am just finishing up applying all the learning/changes to my other mixes (thankfully we are only 4 deep into this 13 song CD). Getting all my learning done on these first ones! Thanks again!

Wow... thanks for the feedback all... really good stuff. Turned out the piano track has that nasty hiss in it all the way through. To get it out of the track my EQ sweep shows it buzzing from 1k->16k. I put a LPF starting around 4k, which does not seem impact the color of the track, and helped...

Tracks on this were recorded in a "home studio" and had some challenges, especially the drums. I've been listening to this for so many hours I fear I am losing perspective. I have produced 4 songs for the CD so far, this is one of them, but by far the most challenging. Lots of overlapping...
