Finished the rough remix so I decided to start a new thread for this new mix. I know I am going to go back and fix some things so tell me what needs work.
I'm afraid it is. You may have tracks panned, but the way you are panning is leaving them pretty much stacked in the middle. Listen to it again. Also, you need to correct your editing. The guitar moves due to phase issues in different parts of the song (caused by the edits).
In parts of the song, EVERYTHING is within the middle third of my stereo field - most of it is within the middle 10%. In other parts the guitars spread out, which is kinda odd to begin with, but as I said above, I think it's the edits, and the way you have them panned.
I'm not trying to bust your chops, just trying to help you to see. You did ask for help, right?
Edit - You don't happen to be mixing on headphones do you?
No, just need to keep the phase coherant between the various takes.
You should be able to hear everything stacked, and then the guitars move out in parts, then back in in other parts on monitors. I thought headphones, because you wouldn't have the phasing issues with phones....
I can't listen to the song cause the link is no good. I can tell you that if you do a search on phase, phase cancelation etc. you will find all kinds of info.
I can't define it for your situation because I can't hear the song. It can be that two seperatly recorded track played together are giving you a flange effect that is undesirable or that you have duplicated a track and off set it and they are canceling each other out to some extent. sound waves are just that, waves. if one track has guitar and the waves are up at the same point another track of the same guitar has the wave down there are issues. In theory they cancel each other out given they have equal and opposit values.
Think of it this way. If you have one signal telling your speaker to push out and a nother signal telling it to pull in and the signals are of the same source and frequency at the same exact time they would cancel each other out.
You know when you draw a figure of a woman in mid air with your index fingers..... There you go.Waite women are phase cancelation! God I can't believe I just figured this out. They are telling me to push in and pull out at the same time!!!!!!! Sorry.
it grabbed me
