I have just started playing around with n-track and have some questions. I am specifically interested in sound processing of already recorded tracks, and some of these questions really apply to any mixing software.
I understand n-track comes with some effect plug-ins(?) like reverb and delay, and I believe I know how to use those. If I want to carve out space (I borrowed this term from some other discussion) in the frequency spectrum, I understand that I need to use EQ. For n-track, will the 3-band eq for each track be the tool to do that, or do I need some other specific plug-in? Any details about how to use the eq on n-track would be useful too. I read the manual, but still am a little bit lost.
My other question is on compression. It appears that n-track comes with a compression plug-in, but how specifically do you use it? Do you do that on each track, or the whole song?
The last question is really just a general one about any other tools that will help make a better mix. Anything aside from the ones I mentioned already that I will find useful?
Thanks.
