Mixing Tutorial

[fistula]

hi guys - great forum - thanks for Andy

there are many-many-many post around here - so if your new to this forum - some stuff will be lost forever - and as i see here are a lot of usefull stuff!!

so my idea is to creat something like mastering/mixing tutorial - based on this forum knowledge - it will be really usefull for newbies like me

for example take one song - and go through all steps (mixing, mastering etc...)

cheers

I've seen a couple of those. One was called "Mixing and Mastering with Waves" I think. Another was a video tutorial type thing that was more like a movie that I thought was better, which was called "Charles Dye's Mix It Like A Record", which had Pro Tools templates and other goodies. Neither was geared towards metal in particular, but both had some useful info that have helped my mixes a lot.

??? style of mixing of this forum....???


Everyone here has his own "style" i think...
...we learn all from Andy, James and from each other but i think there's no: "this is the way to go" -kind of thing...

Or what do you mean with "style of mixing of this forum...."???

All that being said, it would be great to have a metal tutorial where you had files and a typical approach walk through or video. I know to me all music is the same but each genre has certain expectations that should be learnt so you can compete with the norm, and then learn to improve on these when you can understand the limitations of each approach.

You can only ever learn through experience but being guided in the right direction can never hurt.

Now editing thats an area where I'd love to have a mentor to teach me and point out the 'errors' I create.

Although you can learn an awful lot by listening to bands you respect and attempting to deconstruct them and replicate them.

Oh no, not a forum-mixing-style.

Hey, for example the C4 trick etc is just a TOOL! There are guitar tracks who might need processing like that and there are tracks who didn't . Its up to the engineer to decide if he needs ...


But i like the idea of having a cool "Tips n' Tricks" Database.

Not a tutorial, cause everyone should develop his own way to work, but a cool base where you can find all the stuff you might need.

So if some thinks he need that C4 setting he can just take a look into that base and gotit. 24/7.
