Hey I just finished recording a pop-punk song. I am pretty new to all this recording stuff. So what would be the best way to go about mixing it (example: lead guitar 10% to left...etc) I would like it to have roughly some what of the same kind of mix as Blink-182. I am using bass, drums, rythm guitar track, lead guitar track, vocal track,and an organ track for the bridge.

When i mix down In Sonar 6 PE my final Mix down tone goes up and down. on play back thru Sonar everything sounds great. i'm mixing 26 tracks of audio with effects (eq, reverb, etc) down to a wave file. i think it is my processor but the indicator shows 20% cpu usage and 10 hard disk. i run a amd sempron 2800 with 2 gigs of ram my audio from guitar and bass record fine

I have not been using proper monitors for mixing and master I have been using creative gaming speakers. I feel that if I buy a pair of nice studio monitors made for mixing I wil get better results in my efforts. Can anyone recommend some monitors to check out? I would ideally like to spend no more than $150, unless I am just wasting my money.

Hey guys, I'm planning on recording a new song for my solo project and for the vocals during the verse I want to have my voice sound different, like with an effect on it. The type of sound I want is like what Billie Joe's voice sounds like on the verses of American Idiot, it sounds like it has some reverb and maybe a little bit of a like megaphone sound.

just finished work on pro-tools . the masterlink has gone down for reasons unknown and is being repaired but a new project needs to be mixed down for mastering- what are the pros and cons on the equipment available to me
there is a fostex e-2 with 456 tape with only a dbx 224 for tape noise

Hi all,

Anyone got experience mixing/fixing bad vocals?

Hearing these modern punkbands live, it's like hey they can't sing. Okey some might... but it isn't very common. And when you're listening to a record, it's like day and night... Do they fix all this in the studio, or do they push the record button to the final take is on tape?

Hi guys. I'm new here.

I have recently started recording in a simple way. I am using a Line 6 GuitarPort, and that is being recorded by Sonar 6 Producer Edition. I've made loads of recording so far, but I'm retty clueless when it comes to mixing.

I was speaking to an engineer who briefly was talking about how much of a pain it is to mix for mp3, I didn't get a chance to further ask him about it, but it seems interesting enough, or at least to mix for streaming music (ie. Myspace, download.com etc).

Anyone delve into this relatively new art of mixing for the streaming mp3 format?

My room size is 113" x 124"

I have a M-Audio audiophile 2496 sound card

I do not have monitors as of yet. (Please tell me what I should get)

I am thinking of making the insulation bass traps for all corners in the room. Is this wise?
