sorry Farview my last post Was to be addrssed to Lurgan Liar

Farview sounds like your on the right track. But remember limiters should generally be used for controlling peaks. Not squashing a track which results in pumping (large amounts of sustained attenuation) Dynamics in a song are a good thing. Limit the louder parts of your song watch your...

Everybody has thier own approach to audio, and the general consensus is mix with your ears. However if you have taken the time to learn to use a spectrum analyzer and have less than a perfect monitoring enviorment it can help, and at the very least teach you something about sound

Alot of well tracked guitars tack advantage of recording multiple instruments using diffrent timbre. i.e. gibson pan left fender pan right. check out some old zeppelin recordings. It falls under the same idealogy of equalizing left and right tracked instruments diffrently but using two diffrent...

Thanks everbody but I seem to be acheiveing good results with a mixture of equing the offending frequencies and using a bit of upward expansion for retention of lost dynamics. It seems to thin out the lower mids but keep the impact of the drums, bringing out the presence and punch that was...

Well it almost sounds like amaturer engineering as opposed to a bad producer. Is it the same person? Truth be told you never know what coffee boy could be mixing your tracks(at a large studio) FIND OUT and then voice any concerns to the producer. The producers intentions could be noble but the...

Thanks thats kind of what i have been doing Falken except instead of eq i've been using multi-band compression to retain some of the low mid umph while increasing the clarity of the mix. i guess im just worried about low end mudd while still trying to preserve the microdynamics in that...

I agree with what everyone else has already stated but what they didnt say is get paid at least half upfront. ba-zing!

Just A Comment Have you ever heard of a group called tubring? check it out. They have a comprable style and I think they are rather well produced for an indie band.It may give you an idea as to a well mixed sound in the genre.

Basiclly what Im stating is it would seem far easier to take a good thing and subtract negative elements from it to make it better as opposed to the adverse. I am just looking for advice as to how maybe some of the records I had mentioned achieved their timbre as they sound wholly unnatural as...

I don't know how eq savy you are but a notch filter can be used to pull out any offending ressonance at any part of the audio spectrum. Try boosting the low end ressonance that is the source of your anguish so that you can hear it more distinctly, then use the notch filter to pull out that...

I appreciate your post but it isn't helpful. The quality of my audio is great I am merely looking for a better way to acheive a stylised mix. Getting more presence and less mudd so to speak. if i were to record my source in this manner i would be sacrificng the warmth I have captured. This being...

hope this helps You say it is to boomy do you mean (muddy, loud) or both of the above. To fix mudd you can eq out the offending freq. in the lower mids to fix volume adjust it so the bass and kick are in sync but not interfering with vocals or lead lines for the center position in the mix. They...

I am currently working on a project and looking for some advice. The sound i am going for is a realitviely bright mix for example (nine inch nails "pretty hate machine" or tools "lateralus") I have come pretty close to emulating the sounds of those productions using multiband compression in the...
