One Dusty Stars Track Mixed….2 to go
I spent last night trying to put a mix together of a track for a band called “The Dusty Stars” a sort of English prog rock band. It’s turned out quite well for my first real go, I worked by ear rather than by numbers, broke the tracks down into instruments and got each one sounding as good as I could before mixing the track levels.
I had a real problem with the drum sound, considering this was recorded in a professional studio with a professional engineer – the drum tracks are terrible the snare sound is very distant, the hi-hat is picked up from ambient mics and the toms are just muffled. I’ve worked with it the best I can, to get, well the best I can out of it which considering I’m an amature and very much learning, and I appear to have had a terrible track for drums to work with – I’m quite pleaesd. I’m going to have another play with it tonight to give one section a little volume boost for the guitar, and see if I can do a panning trick with a small section of the guitar track, I tried last night but it didn’t quite work out, but I’ve had some great tips from the “Digi User Conference” which is a protools discussion forum so I’ll try again tonight.
