Hello!
I am a novice 002R user and would be very pleased about any help about the fine art of mixing a song in Pro Tools 8.
I recently recorded couple of songs from a band rehearsal. Here is one of them. Please give me good advices what to do to the song in whole and to the individual instruments. I can then go on and try to do what you advice.
Well, I don't think my speakers are "crappy" really, but I don't think they're meant for audio recording either.
Headphones: Cheap wraparound the head ones that were popular about 6 years ago.
Speakers: Logitech z4, cost me about $70. Sound great for movies!
Does anyone have some tips or pointers for me?
Which emulations work best for what kind of audio?
I'm really at a loss to how to get the most out of this unit.
Im running it in Logic 8
I made a guess in another thread that most people with "low cost" studios mixed with a mouse and automation rather than using some sort of control surface. Thought I would run a poll and see the reaction. Picked $50,000 for the "low cost" cutoff. Figured that would cover a lot of us.
Me, I'm 100% with a mouse.
In Cubase, if I wanting to do an audio mix down (in order to master in Wavelab using processing), what is a safe level for the master outs? Should I keep it in the green-yellow (or can it creep into the read every so often? Should I not let it past 0db (as I can always increase it during mastering)?
Hey all,
I am new to the forum and just finished this mix for my band. Wanted to get some feedback from the community. Here is the link,

Sublime's self-titled album.
On the two tracks "What I Got" and "Wrong Way", the drum set is really clear and upfront. How did they achieve that?
On some of the deeper grooves like "Garden Grove" and "April 29th" the bass is full, big, smooth, deep, clear, and balanced? How would I hope to try and copy that?
I'm wondering if I can still use my older mix 24 plus + ( core and 2 PCI cards and install them into a new computer. Right now the system is in my Mac 9600 running PT 5.
I would like to upgrade the software to 7 or 8 for starters. Later on I plan on getting an HD system.
I read somewhere that sometimes a digital mix will be put onto analog tape and then converted back to digital in an effort to induce the warmth of analog tape.
Is this a common procedure, and how effective is it at doing just that, namely adding some warmth or body, or replicating an analog sound?
Hi there guys, i am new here and would like to use this thread to ask questions about mixing alternative rock music to the likes of Breaking Benjamin, 3 days grace and Seether. I intend to use this forum a lot in the future and will share my mixes for constructive critiqeu aswell in the hopes of becoming a better engineer.
