Screw it! Again with the EQ...
Because we preceive high pitch sounds as being closer to us, and sounds lacking high end detail as being further, low passing back vox pretty extremely is a great way to push them back without needing too much reverb or delay.
Also, lately i've been putting my...
Hey Mindsound, I'm sure you can edit your blog posts, right? I'd be more than willing to make corrections for you if you copy that text into a Word doc and send it to me! I actually enjoy copy editing. :eek:
Send me a PM if you'd like.
True, but with parametrics, it's easy to just make it look cool. You have to step into the shoes of someone who has only ever used a DAW for mixing, and then say that again. Some of us have never had the importunity to twist real knobs.
Hey everyone, thanks for your critiques. I went back and reworked the vocal level as well as the low end.
Any better now?

If you have the ability, I would recommend using input gain instead of actual automation. For example, if you find the vocal being too loud here and too quiet there, cut the wave form and drag that region up or down, thus changing the input gain. That way your fader still works normally. I know...
I use it quite a bit. It's very powerful. I Like to send my snare and kick, sometimes toms to a bus that is being slammed really hard and then slowly bring that up in the mix to give the drums more power. I've expirimented with adding the bass to that bus as well with some success.
Like...
Hey friends,
I first mixed this song about 3 or 4 months ago but was never satisfied with it. I decided to start from scratch and see what I could do with a bit more experience. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
This is someone else's track from Mixoff.org.

Did you only do one track of of rhythm guitar? If so, It's begging to be double tracked and panned hard to the sides. It will allow you to have space in the middle and will sound much less mono. Listen to basically any song in a similar genre and you'll notice the same guitar parts on both sides...
You may think now that you only want to do this or that with your music, but I promise it's addicting, and you'll find yourself wanting to do "X" and end up learning about A,J,K, and Z along the way (if you know what i mean). I started by wanting to lay down some gituar riffs to maybe find some...
Right, that's exactly what you need to do.
For example, if you have an EQ on a group track with your multiple guitars going into that group like you explained, your EQ is effecing ALL of those guitars routed to the group. Leave the EQ enabled, solo the first guitar track and Export Audio...
Black Syrup: The reverb you have on the vocals is grabbing the S sounds quite a bit and it's a little distracting. You might be able to tame that by cutting out some of the high end in the reverb return.
Thicket: When the song gets bigger your vocals are being buried. You might just turn them...
Sorry guys, I meant -.3. Idk why I kept saying .03.
Either way, masters are done, printed, and burnt to discs. Played all the way through in all CD players tried so far.
Was a 6 month project. The band is stoked. I'm so happy and relieved!
Ah wait, just checked. It's "Meter Input", "Meter Post-fader" and "Meter post-panner".
As far as I can tell, "Meter post fader" is a dirty liar! Meter input is the only one that gives a true number it seems...
Ok, thanks for being so prompt! I have to finish this project today.
There's no clipping as far as i can tell. I've listened a bunch of times and can't hear any distortion on the tracks...
That fader has 3 setting.. Input, Post-pan, and post-fader. On input, no clipping, but it doesn't go...
My cubase master fader is telling me things are clipping after limiting, but Voxengo Span is telling me that it's peaking at -.03 like I've set in my limiter. Which do i believe? Is cubase crazy?
