So to eliminate the muddy, booming, cluttered, dark sound, what are the top three things one should be doing in their final mix?




In my opinion, there are no general rules; every song demands an specific approach.

Or if you want to get personal; what is wrong with this mix? http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/showflat.p...e=0&fpart=2. On this personel note, I welcome all comments, other than stop singing and your guitar playing sucks - I beat myself up enough in these areas.




First of all, I'm hearing a big hiss on the recording, right from the start; then, I would definitely put the bass on the center, and maybe would allow the piano playing on the entire song. Which effects are you using for guitar and vocals?
