Whats up guys, this is my first post, but I have been lurking on this board for a while picking up little gems of info. The reason I am finally posting is because I am in desperate need of help. I am working on a demo for an acoustic project which consists of a male singer, nylon classical guitar (played aggressively with a pick) and and acoustic bass. We have recorded all the tracks but I am just getting severly stuck with the mixing. Let me not jump the gun though, ill describe how everything was recorded. Vocals: Singer in isolation booth through Audio Technica 4033 to Yamaha O1V, slight EQ on the board, slight compression on the board to MOTU 2408 to Cubase SX added multi band compression and EQ and a little reverb. Acoustic Nylon: Player in Isolation Booth, Audio Technica 4033 to Yamaha O1V slight EQ, slight compression to MOTU 2408 to cubase, multiband compression, eq, reverb. Acoustic bass: well im not going to write it all again. everything the same steps... hahahaha. It seems the bass is probably whats throwing me off. certain notes of the bass come through WAY too lound, certain notes are almost nonexistant. The guitar and the bass when played together seem like they have a big space between them, instead of sounding like music it sounds like a bass and acoustic guitar PLAYING together. The musicians are top notch so thats not the problem. The vocals no matter how I much are either too over the top or two burried in the mix. As if these problems were not enough, the mix itself varies so god damn greatly from one audio system to another its not even funny... every place we test it out sounds COMPLETLEY different so much that we litterally thought we were burning different mixes by mistake.... Anyone who can help me with my vaguely described problems, it would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
