I have searched and have found some very informative articles about mixing songs. My question is how do you know when it sounds right? I will mess with one song multiple times and it still does not have that polished feel.Is there any rule of thumb for mixing a song? When I listen to any great Jazz record and then what I've done there is no comparison.They sound nothing alike.Mine being the worst of course.I would have thought that with all the technology at my finger tips I could make a decent recording.I'm not referring to my playing or BIAB, both are perfect sounding by themselves,but when I combine my drum tracks with BIAB something sounds amiss.How do I get that great Jazz sound? I want it to sound like it was recored in a Smokey jazz club.I love that live sound, but it's so hard to reproduce. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
