well i will start off by saying i try to use my ears as well as i can. i'm having the usual problem of getting my vocals to plop into the mix. i also understand that in order to achieve this, some EQ is needed to notch out an area for the vocals to fit. the task at hand is finding where the vocals sit at which frequency. so i open up the equalizer and i grab hold of the band slider. looping the vocals and i shut my eyes and slide the band slider. i'm looking to find the frequency at which the vocals drop out. and thats the problem. i'm using a width of 1 octave. so i go and i notch it out of all the instruments that are hogging up that space. but i'm not sure how much to notch it out. should i take it one instrument at a time until i get the vocals to sit with the instrument. my guess is that if i do it one at a time then get it just right that when i go to play all the instruments the area that i just notched out won't be enough because all the instruments combined will just make that area louder. this is really hard and i have tons of respect for those who can do this. i would upload the mix i'm working on but i can't due to copyright issues it's at acidplanet in a contest which i'm definately not going to win, so that's not why i need the help. i figured the contest would push me to work harder, but now i'm finding out my areas that i need work on. so please take a listen, give tips and be harsh, i no there are some definate problems in the mix. here's the link.My problem mix
thanks to anyone who can try and lead me in the right direction. i'm not looking for someone to give me all the answers, but more guide me into finding the answers on my own, that way i will know why the answer is what it is. thanks.
