We wait with baited breath geekgurl, I'd really like to hear some of your stuff.
Well, may have some soon. I have a helluva time with the firewall I'm going thru ... I've never posted those files here, but if it's a mere FTP transfer it'll be OK ... problem is, I can't seem to download anything ... POTS, takes forever, then the firewall (I'm told that's the prob) thru our remote dialup just makes it unsuccessful all the time. So I can't even hear what everyone else is up to here. Wrong forum, I know. I'm just venting...

It's not an FTP transfer to this site. You can't upload your files to this site. You need to get a site at IUMA, MP3.com, nowhereradio, or a host of others. Then post a link to your site in the MP3 mixing clinic. and tell us which songs to listen to.
and tell us which songs to listen to.

Of course! What a fool I am. It's sort of embarassing--I've only seen the last half of this. Back a few years ago, when I lived with my parents, they were watching it, and I walked into the room and got sucked in. I really need to watch the whole thing.

You must. Absolutely. Do it this weekend, or sooner. It is not a matter of choice any longer.
I remember seeing it in the theatre and I was the only one of my friends who was totally into it. Everyone else complained it was too long. I loved it and still do.

If I remember the original question, (and after reading this whole thread I could be thinking of another thread altogether!) the most interesting thing is how this question was posed. (i.e. "how do I keep the vocal from getting in the way of the instruments "?)
99% of the time the question is phrased exactly the opposite. So my question is, what kind of music are you recording where the vocals are not the central element?
In a more typical scenario, you might scoop some midrange out of the other instruments, pan some instruments away from the center, and then add compression and high eq to the vocals to keep it out front and vibrant.
So I guess you'd want to do just the opposite!

doulos don't go away
the only mistake i think you made was discussing specific EQing techniques as if they were a common practice to be conducted on every recording.
i was about to say that i never boost the highs in order to recieve that mythical thing called "air", but that would be a lie. because when i'm doing multiband compression (Waves C4) on my main buss, the balance of the mix is shifted ever so slightly so that the highs are more pronounced. i like the way it sounds, but have always fealt that it was my lack of recording or mixing ability that caused me to have to make that adjustment when mastering.
the fact that your demo played for 10000 yet you only managed to sell 2000 total does not bode well. i am assuming that the 10000 did not have an opportunity to make a purchase of the full length CD was released?
finally, just because you've been in the studio doesn't mean you were the engineer. could you clarify your role in the studios that you mentioned? i've been in several of the larger studios around the metro DC/Baltimore area, but as a musician (guitar) not as an engineer.

Re: doulos don't go away
Cross,
Don't want to take from an otherwise "right on" post. If, in theory, you could get 20% of the people hearing your CD to buy it, you'd be instantly rich. The U.S. has 270+ million people. If 20% of them bought a CD that would be 40+ million copies sold.
Or to make the point more realistic, if 20% of a certain target market containing 50 Million people heard and bought the CD containing that song, that would be 10 Million CDs sold... Much better than commercial records today...
