"Columbia" is the song i would like input on.. it is the first one i've recorded with my new equipment... (the other ones are mostly acoustic w/ some electric overdubs)

"Columbia" is just an instrumental, but the other ones feature vocals...

hi i came a long way in searching for the right monitors for my small 4x4 m room
its very hard to find good monitors that translate good into my room,
first thought of ns10 but there lacking sub support

I am fairly new into recording. I understand many of the different concepts involved with regards to EQ, panning, compression and everything else. But I still need to take my mixes to the next level.

A guy is about to mix and master my CD and I want a contract to make sure everything goes smoothly. Does anyone have any mixing and mastering contracts?

I've noticed that a lot of rap music (and I realize it's probably across the board), the vocals are commonly mixed such that they are very up front, with the kick and snare just punching through the vocals. the rest of the music is just behind the vocals - from a balance perspective.

I just finished a recording of my band, and it's 24 tracks of drums and overlapping guitars. What do I do first?

Do I normalize all of the tracks first? Then do I adjust levels? Then do I tweak EQ? Or do I compress/expand/limit/whatever first?

I'm new to the forum and I am really impressed with the knowledge, experience and professionalism of this bunch. I have a question on mixing a lead vocal. I'm recording a rock band and have a decent working mix in progress with all instrumentation complete. Now I have the vocals recorded and I am running into a problem getting them to sit right in the mix.

I was wondering if there are any good books or online tutorials to give me more knowledge or a new approach to the mixing process? I'm stuck in a rut and no matter what band I record, even on different gear, they generally end up sounding the same.

when i get done mixing something with Sonar 3.. the levels look good, the sound wave levels dont look too loud or soft.. they are about 75-80% at their peeks. but when i mix it all down to a wav, the sound is much too low. how do i fix this. and can i increase the volume on each track by Xdb without it distorting? should i mix with them at their loudest level or what?

Hi guys!
