Mixing help please

My point exactly.....OPTIMUM TRACKING LEVEL...."Cleanest and Loudest possible" I rest my case....

Sorry - no..... "optimum tracking level" does NOT ALWAYS equate to "cleanest and loudest possible." Period.

Trak - you must be on the wrong thread or have reading and comprehension problems. Blue Bear understood exactly what I was talking about, and so do I understand what he is talking about - you - who knows?

Chipi, are you saying recording harsh, dirty, etc is the ideal situation, or just the exception....? You don't have to explain...I know, the ideal is not always what you want....Except in this case, he wants something that is not MUDDY...

Blue Bear, you are right, OPTIMUM does NOT ALWAYS mean Cleanest and Loudest....because there are EXCEPTIONS.

It was the ideal situation for one song. The other 15 songs we are working on have a very clean drum sound.

I guess I just don't know what I'm talking about. Could you drop a dime on jesus and ask him? I'll just be sitting over here picking my nose hoping against all hope that you and JC will learn me how to record real good.

This is great help. I'm new to the recording thing but I'm not new to music. I found learning to record is like learning to master a new instrament. You cant just pick it up and expect to get good results with out practise. I never thoght to use E.Q. to bleed off unwanted frequencies so my tracks don't bleed together. Can't wait to experiment with this.
The post have been great. Thanks.

If I gave a shit about you it would. If Bruce gave me a verbal body slam, it would hurt my feelings. You, who the fuck are you?

 

[tonyA]

My...my...resorting to obscenities now....okay, okay, you win, I lose. If it means that much to you....

 

[Track Rat]

You gave the opening blow. Like I said, I don't even know who you are.

Okay, I am sorry, I am wrong. Let us end this thread now...The guy got the info he wanted. I am sure he will end up with a better mix through our collective knowledge. I would never discount Blue Bear's knowledge, he is one of the most knowledgeable member of this forum and all his help is appreciated. We must understand, though, that opposing views may also be valid....and/or workable.

Okay, I am sorry, I am wrong.

AT LAST! We agree.

Mr Blue Bear, thanks for the good summation in the mojopie piece. I think a lot of the beginners' questions posted here can be answered by referral to "A Realist's Guide to Recording". Well done.
