HELP! :confused:
I have been working on a Pro Tools / Mac workstation for the past 9mos. Instrument tracking is complete. I have been trying to accomplish Final MIX's in Pro Tools w/Sub-Professional results (consistently)! The bands and I am VERY DISAPPOINTED thus far. What can I do to get the Pro-edge that I thought I was buying into? (Duy pluginsalready being used!)
I am having a hard time convincing all involved that outboard gear is not necessary - but now I'm beginning to have doubts. :confused: null

Hi Mixed Up,

Try This:

Make 4 master faders (not Subgroups btw)

assign drums to master fader 1

other lo end stuff to master fader 2

guitars to 3

vocals to 4

if you need more add another master fader but try and keep it down to 4.

assign the outs of each master fader to 2 inputs on your mackie.

You should end up with 4 stereo subs on your mackie.

If you do this I will guarantee your mix will sound a little better. Very suprised no one mentioned this.

OK the mackie is not the best console in the world, but i would still bet that will be a better sound than you are getting right now.

Try it, you have nothing to lose. :)
