I have finished mixing 6 songs for my band's first demo to be sold for a few bucks after shows. I am happy with the mixes but would like to better them some. The only two things I'm trying to do is create a little "air" and get a good consistant level throughout the demo. This is what I'm thinking, but I'm not sure:
1. I need a little subtractice EQ to make the recording a little less muddy. Usually the only post-mix EQ I do is to take out real low stuff, but I don't have a problem with real low stuff now. What's a good frequency to take out that'll give my recording more air?
2. Use a small ammount of compression. I tracked and mixed this thing real hot and would like to "cool" it down. I'm a novice in using a compresser though. Is there a compresser setting you use
3. Normalize. After compressing I'm thinking I should normalize to keep each song the same level.
I know I can't get great advice without giving specific details. I just want any littel advice that can help me, so I'm not taking total shots in the dark.
