[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 99095, member: 277"] Re: Mixing Resources I believe Silas and Chris Hindle answered that one well. Another thing is the "mathematics" are just a place to start. There are other things going on like room reflections and variations in the analog parts of the signal which are not always as precise as the digital components. As Phil mentioned you have to think of the mix as a whole rather than just concentrating on individual parts. As I said you need to get rid of the stuff you don't want. Then you have to make a place for everything in the mix. A guitar may sound great by itself but because it is in the same range as the lead vocal we might want to scoop a few dB out somewhere in the midrange to let the vocal be more intelligible. Once you get rid of all the mud and rumble on the bottom and then get rid of all the slosh in the mid and upper ranges it is just a matter of balancing the mix and featuring the things you want to be prominent. You will find that most of the real work is done on the midrange where almost everything has a fundamental or major harmonic tone. [/QUOTE]
