i have just finished my first track and wana know more bout mixing. What i’m doing currently eqing the low end out of all the tracks except the kicks and the sub bass at around 100hz. Am i doing the right thing?
Also can you please tell me what sound is suppose to be where in the sound spectrum? Like when i used the sound spectrum on diff tracks the kicks where obv on the extreme left, hi hats on the extreme right and like my lead on the mid right while my chords on the mid left. Im sorry if this sounds stupid.
Can you just tell me where which sound should be like chords/main melody/high bass etc etc..
Also and suggestions and any tips on how to mix would be just great. The track is good but like at times it sounds a bit muddy or busy coz to many things are going on. Im using ableton.
Ok i have one more query…the thing is my laptop cannot handle all of my cpu load hence i freeze all mu track when im working but now the ableton folder has become very heavy as much as 30 gb! what shall i do to avoid the cracks as well as work without disk overload.
What do you mean by an accurate room? and why is that exactly necessary? Why cant i just do that in any normal sort of room?
Also previously i have read a lot about a reference track. Now i want to know how exactly to work about it. As in, how exactly do i pick a reference track? Also for example i like a track which is produced by some huge artist..now how do i use that track for my mixing i dont know.
And what do you mean by ‘your DAW level matched’? Please help. Thank you
Without and accurate room, you can’t be sure that what you’re hearing is actually what is coming out of the speakers. Things like room modes and absorbtion (to name just two) can affect the way certain frequencies reach your ears.
