Floyd Jane, looks like I lost the bet, you gain!
But actually, I want to say thanks to you and to all: Bob, Jim, Janice & Bud that contributed! Very good read!
It seems my main concern with mix should be overlapping of frequencies / EQ and panning.
The panning part I am a bit confused by. How is this done? Vocals to one side & Instruments to the other or something like: Bass and drums go together and the rest opposite? Is there a general concept with panning for very basic mix?
Mixing just drives me nuts. Sometimes when I do it, I feel like a witch who is making a very untasty soup. Hopefully it will get better
