Hey Guys,

I'm having some problems with adding reverb to my mixes. In my "mixing" room the tracks sound nice and fat but when I listen to the tracks on another set of speakers in another room, it sounds like I've added way too much reverb. Almost to the point where it starts sounding flanged or chroused or something. Is it my "mixing" room thats causing this?? or my monitors or??

Probably a mixture of both. What are you useing? If your set up is adequate, you need to "learn" it. Play boat loads of commercially released CDs through it and learn how it resolves all the details; where does the bass sit, the kick/snare levels, how much ambience do you hear (reverb), etc. When you get comfortable with all that it makes it a hell of a lot easier to create mixes that translate to other systems consistantly.
 
where can we get unmastered cd's to listen to.. Nowhere radio is great, but it would be good to hear a commercial cd unmastered..

Why? Try to get your mix/pre-master to sound as much as possible as a commercial CD. Then the masterer will have less to fix (if you actually are going to send it to a masterer).

I do have two versions of a CD I got from a guy. One mastered and one not mastered version. It was interesting to hear the difference, but no way that I would like to go after the sound on that non-mastered version....

It was also interesting to try to make the unmastered version to sound like the mastered one. As a mastering practice... ;)
