I use SONAR to record at 48kHz and 24 bits.

after i mix down i need to export the wav to cool edit to downsmaple to 44.1.

is there a better program for doing this? does wavelab do this?

ok, I basically halted where I was at mix wise cause I didn't really know what the hell I was doing :) ..I went to a whole load of sites and read all kinds of tutorials on mixing and eqing, these are just a few things I can remember offhand. It'd be great if you guys could give your input on these and offer some of your own tips, rules of thumb, or tricks.

Being a fledgling recording enginner I have recently discovered how to make a loop effect with an Aux bus. I've gone chorus happy! I couldn't believe how that effect makes the whole mix unfold and allow it to wrap around you.

I think the biggest mistake novice mixers commit is soloing each instrument and eqing it to make it sound good on its own, and then bringing everything up and expecting it to sound great!

What, in your opinion is the biggest faux pas made by budding engineers when it comes to mixing? Kurt

I am just starting a full time carrer as a recording engineer, in my own studio, and for others in the area as well. Currently my market has been low level bands. A lot of the stuff is poorly arranged, chord voicings, one part stepping on another, etc.
I sometimes spend more time than I should to tweak stuff, just cuz I don't want crap with my name on it.

OK so I'm graduating from Trebas this fall and have learned a ton of stuff about gear. I have got recommendations from teachers and read reviews now I'm curious to know what you all think. Here is a list of some products I am considering and why I want them. Please let me know of comparable products and which ones of these might be foolish purchases!

Are there any Samplitude users who can explain how it compares to cubase? How does Samplitude deal with VST instruments? Do you consider the program to be efficient cpu-wise overall? I see that ASIO support is recent, is the program stable? If so, what setup are you using w/ it? Also, how do you rate the eq, reverb, amp sim?

sorry for all the questions.. :)

Thanks everyone who responded to my earlier post. You guys are great. I have a chance for a good deal on a Shure KSM 27 and an AT 4033. I'll have just one mic for recording strumming and fingerpicking on a Martin HD28--lots of bass, a bit less high-end .

hello all,
i'm new to this site but looks good so far. anyways, i'm a recording engineer and have been for over 20 years. have just purchased my first studio in midtown manhattan :) it's a nice 24 track analog room with a good amount of vintage gear, have also added in a Pro Tools HD II system. just trying to get the word out.

Hi,

I wonder what you do to make your mixes sound the way you want them to, both in mono and stereo. I've noticed how those mixes that really sound good almost sound the same in mono.
