Hello all

Hi everyone

I'm trying to record a demo for my electronic post rock band.

The track begins with a simple keyboard loop. Seconds later, the bass and guitars enter (at the same time).

The problem I'm having is trying to make the guitars/bass entrance sound really MASSIVE.

Ive often wondered if there is a set method used by trained/pro engineers as a starting point when mixing material.
After all the tracking/dynamics/comp/eqing/pan etc.. is done and it comes time to blending all the instruments together in a final mix,what instrument usually is the starting point?

If I were to use another Console for a sub mixer,To hook it up to the main console,would it be as easy as going out the master bus of the sub mixer to 2 channels line input on the main console?

Hey There,

I recently picked up a copy of the Bob Clearmountain Percussion and Bass sample library. In listening through the samples, I noticed that BC's electric bass is mixed stereo. It's a great sound - summing to mono significantly reduces the impact.

I had a few questions about mixing different qualities of songs onto the same album? is there any particular way to go about that? will it sound really off to try to mix songs that are recorded using different techniques?

Someone is offering to sell me a Big by Langley mixing console for a very low price. However, I do not know very much about the desk. I have been unable to locate a user manual, or any instructive info for it. A few questions:
1. Can the desk be used as an analog desk without the "Supertrue" automation software?
2. Can the desk be used without any software at all?

Hi everyone

How much compression?
And whats good plugins to make the toms and snare sound half dry and bouncy?
Thank you
