Hey Everyone! I am getting more into live recording with a live band and need some advice on mixing tips and maybe mic placement or whatever someone with experience has to offer.
Below are 3 stems of a rough recording. Keep in mind that the music is rehearsed, its a section of an improv. I do want to be able to know what to do when we get something really down. I want to be ahead of the game and when I am ready to record Ill have a better idea of how to handle the tracks. The overhead mics and bass drum are mixed into one track for right now but plan to separate them and add a mic or two. If you had these stems how would you start mixing them? Guys/Gals Thanks in advance This post has been edited by Jim S.: Jul 13 2015, 08:44 PM

Hi mate,
I did a quick mix, please check it out and let me know what you think.... full_mix.mp3 ( 2.57MB ) Number of downloads: 381 about the recording, the bass was not very clear, is it a direct line take? I added an ampeg emulated to make it sound better. The drums are tricky to mix having everything on the same channel. It would be very helpful to have 2 extra channels for kick and snare. -------------------- My lessons

Hey thanks for taking time to mix it a bit. I did not listen with much attention but plan to tomorrow. What I could tell is the volume was a lot higher without clipping. It seemed to me it was ready to clip so I'd like to know what avenues you walked to do that. Next is that it did seem clear and more defined bass. Speaking of bass and replying to Mertays last comment about how cool it is to record like this. The recording is my dad, brother and myself. We try to spend time together with music, it's about the one thing we can talk about and enjoy. This is just for fun but I do have bigger plans just not in the making now. My dad plays bass and he's always second guessing himself. Last year I almost talkies him into joining here but I don't think he ever did. |

Yes, I used this plug in to make the overall mix sounds more powerful: http://www.pspaudioware.com/plugins/dynami...vintagewarmer2/ and this one to emulate the bass amp: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/ampegsvx/ I also did some EQ tweaks on bass and guitars. Drums are very tricky to manage because everything is there, and it has too much guitar on it too... Let me know what you think of what you hear... -------------------- My lessons
