I'm looking for some pointers.
Been mixing for a few months now.
Some times I luck out and it all sounds acceptable but I don't always know what and why.
In this mix I wanted the quieter parts to sound big and fat but not as full of energy as when the drums kick in. Then when the drums start, I wanted a lot more energy and get some distortion on the guitar and bass. I doubles both tracks and added distortion, but then eveything just started sounding all washed out.
This mixing game baffles me. There's as much sience as there is art and a little magic every now and then.
Please give your two cents worth or more. I can use all the help I can get.
