Hello,
I've been playing drums since 2002, guitar 2008, bass 2010, and piano early this year.
I've always mixed my own music, and always have fun with it. Though, most of the time I have a hard time with it.
My problems are usually, when everything is mixed, it usually sounds very.."dirty." What I mean is, it everything sounds sort of put together and isn't clean.
I've got it recording on 24 bit aif(Been switching from that and Wav) and that always helps, but that's not exactly what I mean.
For me, the drums almost sounds like the background - you can't really hear them too much. Though when I turn them up, everything else doesn't sound right.
So really, what I need help is, is clearing things up so that you can hear the instruments real good, without sounding messy.
If anyone has any tips, or even a link to something that can help me, I'd appreciate the reply.
Thanks a lot,
theoutsidedoor

Yes, thanks Dan! I especially appreciated the use of M/S proces
Yes, thanks Dan!
I especially appreciated the use of M/S processing for EQ - not realizing you didn't need a true M/S signal to do it.
That tip alone may go a long way in improving my mixes.
Any other offerings from this fellow? He's quick, clear, and informative.
Yup, and that fellow speaking on this tutorial is Dan himself! h

instruments's knowledge then it is quite easy for you if you want new and fine tips then can search on google or can take advise of some experianced person.

There are some concepts and tips that everyone who mix should have on their mind...
I think that this idea is pretty straightforward... ''Unfortunately there's no mixing equivalent of the 'knowledge' you pick up behind the bike sheds at school. You simply have to jump in (so to speak) and be prepared to get it wrong.''
