    Mixing the Master Channel

    Hypnotist, I have actually heard about that before. The whole record/needle skipping thing. At the same time, to me it just sounds right. I'm accustomed to it, and unless the shit is just mad creative, I'd like my kicks and bass right dead center

    Mixing the Master Channel

    Personally I would keep the bass panned center. The kick is a percussive effect and will slam right through the bassline. To me that would just send the mix off kilter a little. Generally, its a good idea to keep you kick, snare, hats, bassline, and lead vocals panned center. You can work...

    Mixing the Master Channel

    well im used to working in a professional environment where everything is being sent to mastering. Honestly, get the number out of your head. When you're mixing, the overall volume makes NO DIFFERENCE. Ok yes, you don't want the overall volume at some stupidly low level that when you bring it...

    Mixing the Master Channel

    well, first thing, if you're not using pans (a lot of ppl dont), try panning your instruments in different directions to give the mix bus some room to breath. Keep your main drums (K, SN, HH) panned center, bass panned center, and lead vocals panned center. Everything else should have its own...
