Hi everyone, I've been scanning these boards for a few weeks and found some great tips from other peoples posts, but up until now I haven't posted anything. I'm hoping some of the more intermediate to advanced audio guys out there (specifically those who mix well) could help me out with this one.

I should say right up front, that I am a rank amateur when it comes to mixing. I recently read a great book on mixing called "The Mixing Engineer's Handbook" by Bobby Owsinski.

Hi all, this is my first post and I must say I love this forum! I am looking to upgrade my studio with new preamps soon. Probably mostly Sebatron s and Vintech. The setup is recording analog into an Alesys HD24 then firewire the track files to the PC and Cubase SX for mixing. I'm trying to decide if I need a "high-end " mixing board though. Right now I'm using a Behringer MX-9000.

When I try to get the kick and the clap to work together it just sounds as the clap is placed above the kick..
I want the kick and clap to be like one sound, not two sounds placed above eachother...
On modern dance music songs the kick and clap sounds like one sound..

Hello,

What's a good level for mixing that will not hurt my ears, but will not cause me to make the bass too loud? I'm making bass-heavy electronic music, but I want it to sound nice and crisp in the mid-highs.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a prog-rock project right now where I'm mixing a singer with a voice which sounds like a cross between Roger Waters and Robbie Robertson. Very bassy and chesty. No matter what I do it sounds to bassy. Besides using a HP filter at 80Hz, What other frequencies are generally troublsome for a soft vocal?

Hi all

Yesterday I recorded someone playing the soprano saxophone.

He's a very engaged player (for over 50 years) using both every dynamic range available and using every corner of the recording space available.

Usually what I do during a mix on my computer is just keep turning each wave that is low in the mix up, and by the time i'm done I end up having the main mix level at like -15, and each Wavesvolume at like +2 to +12 or something like that. In the analog world I know doing this might create problems, but in the digital domain does it even matter at all?

i have a pair of Genelac 1030A and KRK K-Rok
