wow this is a great walkthrough - thanks for outlining! I feel I understand the basics and concepts of mixing and recording but 1) am limited by what I'm able to achieve realistically with what I've got (though I make the best of it) and 2) I'm just not that great at it, lol!! At this point I'm happy to have engineers and producers do the heavy lifting ;)
Regardless, always interested in learning new little tips and tricks like this. Looking forward to seeing some more!
Y'know, it's taken the best part of 15 years to get to where I am and I'm awful compared to the real producers you hear out there. Even for me, I prefer to give the heavy lifting to them if the money permits it! For the most part I just work with my passion for free though heh.
Thanks for reading!
