Mixing is always one of the biggest problems for new engineers,
home recordist and protools newbies. Unfortunetly eveybody
thinks there is some big dark secret to mixing. Any engineer
will tell you their are tricks and techniques, but no secrets.
The best way to improve your mix is to improve your recordings.
That sounds almost to easy, but it is true. When you first start
to record vocals or an instrument with a mic dont just press
record. Listen to the signal coming in. Look at the way the
microphone is placed. Try changing the distance between the pop
filter and the microphone or the pattern of the microphone. Use
your ears! Once you begin to record the worst thing you could do
is "Set It and forget it" Things are always changing when your
record. Some times a vocalist will get tired and the levels will
drop. Other times a vocalist might get louder and louder with
each take as they get more comfortable. You have to be mindful
of all these things and more to get good quality recordings.
Other things that can also cause problems are Jewlery and
chains. That G-Unit spinner is gonna cause havoc on on your
vocal tracks. There is no need to be iced out in the booth! Make
sure hats,arms, hand, legs or anyting else dont hit the
microphone or stand while recording. There is a saying in the
studio that goes " Crap in , Crap out" Well guess what? If it
sounds good recording it, it will sound twice as good when you
go to mix. Hope this helps. Feel free to hit me up with any
questions. Peace Jazdout Producer Engineer href="http://www.gnxmusic.com"> Beats, Production, Drum Sounds
