When you mix your songs, what do you usually keep loudest? Give me an example.

From loudest to quietest:

Thanks.

I'm tempted to run with this but I'll be good. What do you mean?
 
Most of my songs have a very loud bottle breaking in them.
 
What else could I possibly mean?! I'm talking about tracks! Vocals, Drums, Guitars, Bass, etc...

Hope this helps.
 
I usually do loud to soft going left to right. on the mixer. Make sure you change up your tracks on each song so they don't all have the same mix.

Damnit, bear just post the article.
 
Sorry about my stupid sarcastic reply. I just wanted to subscribe to this thread so I could read all the other stupid sarcastic replies that I knew were coming.

Seriously, there's no way we can tell you that. You need to figure that one out yourself... :)

Osiyo,

so far I have
AH yah ah gwuh DOOLEY

which is just I want me. I'm working on it.
 
ummmm...it depends.... different songs have different characteristics, different parts of songs have different levels....if you are looking for a "rule" there ain't one. Really!

Reminds me of a radio conversation I heard on teh radio 5 years ago when I was working on the arctic between a pilot coming in and the person on the ground.

Pilot: "what's the weather doing over there?"

ground:" some clouds, some blue sky"

Pilot: "ummm....where are the clouds? what's the visibility?"

ground: "I can see just fine"

Pilot: "Ummmm, but will I see the airstrip from 1000 ft? How about those mountains all around you?"

Ground: "the mountains are there"

Pilot " Okay, how about the wind?"

Ground "Yes"

Pilot " Yes? How much? where's it coming from?"

Ground "It's windy, blowing from teh left"

Pilot (who is still 100 miles away) " Would that be your left, or my left?"
 
Your getting some good advice here so I can't add much, but make sure that the drummers kick drum is turned down.... it can ruin the whole song when the kick is too loud. Ideally you want it to sound like a roll of toilet paper being dropped on the floor.
 
MORE COWBELL. . . . . MORE COWBELL PLEASE





REALLY THOUGH, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT THE SONG TO SOUND LIKE, HENCE THE WORD "MIX" BASS AND DRUMS CREATE A BED FOR THE RHYTHYM GUITARS TO LAY ON, THEN LEAD GUITAR ON TOP OF THAT ALONG WITH VOX AT ABOUT THE SAME LEVEL, GENERALLY. THE DUDE ABIDES
