Re: Mixing Resources

Running sound is one of those things that really cannot be mastered any way but by experience. The only way to get experience is to get experience. You have to start somewhere and no matter what you seem to know there is always more that can be learned, even when your mixes are stellar. It is not an exact science like programming. There is not one correct mix. Five different great engineers will have five slightly different mixes, all of them great but with minor or even major differences according to the tastes and preferences of each.

Honestly what you are hoping for starting out is that the mix will at least sound good and not be a loud jumbled up mess. That should not be that hard believe it or not. You will get better and better as you go on, just like with your guitar. There is so much good advice in this thread you should be off to a good start. Mixing sound during band practice is a wonderful hands on way to learn and also gives you lots of time to experiment and nobody gets hurt.

Most importantly HAVE FUN!

Let us know how it is turning out.
