Hey I tried doing something a bit different , instead of mixing one guitar lead track I created for tracks same guitar lead in each one .
Then I panned one 40% left and the other 40 right , the two I left in the center plus added compression on each track and this other effect on each track .
 
Sound better now ? James

Hi, you just gave me some positive comments on improving my mix on a song I posted and I did so. I came across this thread asking for input on mix which I have a roomful of speakers, but not much mixing knowhow. I wanted to here your item so to better educate myself on mixing. But there is no link to a song. I found "My Guitar Weeps" on soundclick and played with and without going thru a graphic Eq and it sounds so clear, balanced for each instrument. I thought it couldn't be better. But gets me down cause I can't figure out why my mixes sound like coming thru a little transistor radio. I strive to learn. Let me know if I can listen to anything for an amateur opinion on mix, if anything, I got the power and the speakers. Thanks again for the earlier comments. captg

Hey thanks , it takes a pretty big hammer to put me down . As for reposting I might repost it soon after I finished working on this one new section I have been working on a few days now . Theres alot going on in it and mixing with this one little monitor speaker hasn't been easy but I'm working thru it and might post it for some mix feedback so check back in a day or so .
 
Thanks - James

Thanks , my advice when recording is to stay away from using REVERB as much as possible , in some cases you might need some reverb when recording piano but with me reverb can really screw things up if you misuse it .
I always use compression on all my tracks except for my drum tracks , there's some other effects you can add to a recorded track too but I want go there now .
Also I mix my tracks after I record each new track , its a big mistake to record lets say twenty tracks and then go back and then try mixing all of them at one time .
There are some other little things I do but that really has to do with how you listen to your music & recordings , finding that right balance from one track to another takes time just keep working at it .
Another tip its best to let your ears rest for a day and then relisten to your song , you'll be surprise how much things change in a day .
 
Not sure if this will help you get started but its what I do and seems to work for me most of the time , I'm still learning new things when mixing tracks and my music so keep at it . You'll find something that will work for you soon enough .
 
Thanks - James

 
Hi , a few ask me to post my NEVERLAND sample and I just did after making many new changes .
I decided to stick with the original old version sound with some new changes added to the old Neverland song I created back in 2009 .
The BAD news with this work in progress song  my DAW is breaking up really bad now while recording and adding new tracks , it shouldn't be breaking up at all .
I might have to uninstall Windows XP and reinstall everything all over again to fix this issue , months ago I started noticing how slow my computer had been running while on the internet plus some other weird things have been going on and now right in the middle of recording this new version with every new track I add it starts breaking up on me during my recording of a new added track .
 
I have a strong processor and plenty of ram memory it shouldn't be doing this to me at all , hell I have only 13 tracks recorded .
 
If I can't find a quick FIX I might have to delay recording this while I uninstall everything , sucks because its a weeks worth of work to get everything reinstalled and running smoothly again .
I was going to uninstall my XP professional earlier but decided to work on this song and finish it before starting on that uninstall and reinstall .
 
Anyway heres what I have been working on for four days or so , maybe with alittle luck I will figure whats going on with my computer so I can finished this song .

 Great news for me ! I'm pretty sure I fixed my record & playback audio issue inside of Project 5 , I went in and messed around with my Project 5 AUDIO settings and then tried listening to my WIP song with tracks unfrozen and it wasn't breaking up on me .
Hopefully it will be smooth sailing to the finished line for this song , tommorrow I start working on the melody track for my NEW version of Neverland .
 
For the record please don't pay any attention to what Robby has to say , hes trying his best to trash me personally and this song I'm reworking .
The only thing hes trying to do is get others on this forum to follow him hoping everyone will not listen or comment on my music period .
Its ashame the man has to go around and BULLY people around who he doesn't like , theres plenty of medical help out there for him if hell just let the light in and realize hes not funny anymore .
 
Take a DEEP Breath Robby , its ok to seek medical help . Healing begins with you reaching out , please go get some help .

Interesting tune - enjoyed it.

Thanks Mark , I been working about three hours today on some guitar for this song and I almost have it worked out so it works with the new lyrics I started writing for this new version of NEVERLAND .
This time I plan on leaving the late M.J. out of it , I'm rewriting the whole song in a different way then before .
Still alot of ground work to do , there won't be anymore updates untill its completely finished so that should make Robby HAPPY !
 
Thanks for the listen Mark -James

Promises, promises.
