Hi, i'm pretty much new to metal production or any music production for that matter. I pretty much can't mix to save my life so i guess i'll start with what gear i have/use.
My guitar is recorded direct through PODxt to my computer via USB, i can upload patches or audio files if it helps to get an idea of the sound i have. For drums i'm using addictive drums and at the moment for bass i'm using a fairly basic sound module but i'm hoping to improve that at some point.
I know about doubling and panning when recording etc but i don't know an awful lot more than that. Really i'm just looking for something to get me started with that will help me improve my tracks and stuff. I'm not sure where to begin with mixing and also what's the best way to track stuff? Also should EQ/compression etc be applied as you're recording or after everything is tracked?
Thanks for any help
