    I'm Ready to Mixdown and I sure could use some advice

    I'm sorry, I did a search on this subject before I posted this, but it didn't yield the results I was hoping for. Basically, I'm done with my mixes and I'm ready to mixdown, and from everything I've read, a good analog mixdown unit is better than a digital one. Now, I have a world class...

    I Like Everything in My Mix, But.........

    ........It just isn't big enough. I'm very happy with the clarity of each instrument, everything has it's own place on the EQ and the panning seems to be okay, reverbs have helped with the "bigness", but it just doesn't have the power that I think it should have. It's not mastered, so I...

    What do I leave up to the Mastering Engineer?

    I am going to be done with mixing my band's album very soon and I'm lucky enough to be giving the final mixdown to world class mastering engineer when I'm done. I'm about 95% musician and 5% engineer so I'm trying to not to step on his toes, but not sure how not to. There's a couple of things...

    Question Regarding Reverb/Doubling/Delays

    I have read that if you use reverb, doubling, or delays properly, you can achieve a "bigger" sound, but so far I am struggling to do so. My reverbs are too apparent in the mix. I would just like to enhance the sound I already have, but what I end up with is a very obvious reverb. When I adjust...

    Using Reverb

    I've read in a couple of places that reverb can be used to create a sense of movement on a particular track, but they were very vague about the specifics. Can anyone elaborate? Thanks in advance.

    A Show of Appreciation.......

I just want to let you guys know (FarView, Massive Mastering, Masteringhouse, Harvey Gerst, Scrubs.....to name a few) that...

    Question on Mastering Do's and Dont's

    So here's my situation. I am going to be sending some material off to get mastered by a pretty reputable guy, but I don't want to limit what he's capable of doing by my own meticulous neurosis/idiocy. I was wondering if you guys had any advice on what I should or shouldn't do in the mixing stage...

    Question on Drum Triggering

    Is there any way to use acoustic drums that are already recorded as a trigger for electric drums via MIDI? I know that typically this is done while the recording is being done, but I don't have that option. I was hoping that one of you aurally inclined individuals might know. :D
