I don't think the question should be "How do I mix well in Cubase". But more along the lines of, "How do I mix, period". There are tricks that can benefit you with whatever interface you work on.

There is a concept called, "Imaging". You have to keep in mind how you are replicating the sound for an artist. Just like on stage, certain instruments take priority over others. So like a painting, you have to have an idea on how you are going to paint a picture before the brush hits the...

Try an intern position, Plenty of studios out there in the world that would love to have an extra pair of hands. ;)

That could be true, but it dosn't always apply. Brigo, One of two things comes to mind: a) The SPL (Sound Pressure Level) handling of those speakers may be crap and you've tried to push the limit. or I think it may just be b) Smaller (tweeter style) speakers usually tend to pick up high...

One good condenser aimed about mid way between the mouth of the singer and slighty to the right of the guitar sound hole should do good.] Lee

In addition, MP3 will also lower the overall volume of the song.

To be honest, there is no real standard order to go in. Some engineers will choose to record vocals before anything. It all depends on what approach you'd like to take and what kind of music it is. I like to write down a tree of instruments before I get started. To make things general...

It sounds like you're taking what seems to be a rational approach to your problem. Very good thinking in this industry. And yes, sound does work in many ways in the same way the principles of light work. However, it's not as simple as applying cross techniques. Don't get too religious on...

It really wouldn't benefit you to use two mic's. You won't get a stereo image and you'll end up having to fight with the EQ response of each mic put together in one big nasty ball of sound.

what you have to take into consideration is "how" you sing. Hitting the notes and nailing the words isn't as important as getting the emotion across. Case and point, Chino from Deftones. Half the time you can't understand what the **ck he says, but his message still gets across.

Heres a quick tip on an old idea: The best recording starts all the way at the root. Which means the gear list mega bands have are probably the best thing out on the market at the time. But it's not hard to achieve like results. You just need to have a little know how on what it takes to get...

I'm sure some sort of sampling module is a little more what you need. I couldn't name any off the bat, but that's pretty much the approach for hip hop beat makers. If I find anything, I'll let you know.

It's very generalized. In short, a typical producer is the direct link between the artist, the record label and the tech crew.

Probably the less you do to them, the more seperated they will sound. EQ, volume and dynamic processing would probably help you the most. compression on the final guitar track also helps guitars stay in thier space.

the industry standard response: You're guitars are on the outside while your bass rolls right through the middle. But allow me to elaborate a little more. What I'm about to say is gonna save you the pain of ever having to fight with anything in a mix ever again. At least I hope so. If you...

It might be a number of things, 1) You might have tracked the bass too loud, with no head room left to spare. 2) You might be adding too much bass in your mix without realizing it. 3) You might have a lot of low to mid low end in other instruments that are adding up to a lot of bass. 4) It...

As long as you can get used to them, and learn how to mix on them, NS 10s can do a lot for you. By no means would I think of them as "miracle" speakers though.

Might be an error with the CD due to whatever program/hardware burned it. Also, the type of CD might be a cause. Standard CDs intended for mass production are made with extremely low error rates to prevent defects such as the ones you are experiencing.

You need to set the amp before you record. Too much fuzz and grind in your distortion won't translate well. It usually results in very thin and painfully distorted guitar sounds. Try turning down your gains, distortion levels, etc. Also try EQing the amp before you ever try to EQ on the board...

I think some people are misunderstanding dynamic range. Simplified definition: Dynamic range- the difference between the highest and lowest volume level in any given sound wave. Two examples: Modern rock- dynamic range of maybe 3-4db (very light) Classical music- dynamic range can reach...
