Audio mixing is new to me, so far I have used midi files played from a keyboard for backing while I sing and play lead guitar.
However, I tried mixing an audio track instead, believing this approach will give me more options (like use of audio loops, backing vocals etc.). On the monitors the final result sounded fine, but when played over my P.A. it was somewhat muddy and dead. The simple midi I normally use sounds better.
Are there any tricks for mixing this sort of thing? Should I pan the instruments more out to give the impression of a live band? Should I avoid compression to get more dynamics as would also be the case with a real band?
Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing?
