This is a nice site

I got a question which Im positive you guys get all the time but Im honestly lost and I need a starting point. Im just about to graduate school (audio engineering obviously) and I want to work in a studio its my dream job and always has been. But with the current economic state it seems like a lot of studios dont even want interns( just my luck all I want to do is learn and be a great engineer someday).

Attention Mixers who attended EOM one and/or two!

We are preparing the outline for the Elements of Mixing Seminar three, and we would like to include a few comments form the students about what they took away from the last seminar...maybe your mixes sounded immediately better, maybe not? Or you were able to hear something in your own mixes that you didn't hear before. We welcome your comments and will publish probably 4 or 5. Thanks

Selective Perception (Mixing concept)

Much of what I do as a mixer over the course of developing a finished mix for a song is what i call Selective Focus. It's basically a glorified term for paying attention to one thing, or maby two things at a time while listening to playback. When I begin a mix, I always start with all the faders at unity and I start to sort of clumsily put together a perspective for the song, moving elements like bass, drums, guitars, and keys into a rough perspective. From that point on, I begin "shaving" off… Continue

My biggest problem is trying to deal with multiple synthesizers (2 or 3) in the upper EQ range, 2kHz and above. No matter what I do--boost, cut, whatever--it sounds like they are always fighting each other. I tend to hesitate when I want to insert…

Wondering if you guys (Ryan or Bassy) have any headphones that you would recommend for use in the mixing process. I mix on KRK monitors, but wanted a good set of headphones for touching up my mixes and referencing.

i NEED YOUR FEEDBACK

I have this track that i am producing and i have been working on this off and on for 2 weeks. And i am having trouble with this RandB singer vocal performance all i really was able to do so far was use some volume and mute automation, cut paste, mute unwanted parts to give her performance a better flow with the ttrack . And i still cant seem to figure out where to go from there. I have tried to compress eq and reverb to the ''norm'' for female singers but I am not getting the sound she wants is…See More

I have a question, when using a delay in front of a reverb, do you disable the pre-delay on the reverb?

What IS your biggest studio Rant/Rave

Such as mine would have to be two things, One going to a studio to produce a track and you have the manger slash whatever they want to call themselves on your back tryna tell you the PRODUCER how to do your job they hired you for and to tell you what you're hearing. The second thing would be to go into a studio and they not have the gear you asked for or they don't have exactly what they said they had.

Great answers by Karl and Rosenthol! A good arrangement based on well established principles for each genre can help you find the ballpark, but it's up to you to push the envelope and create unique song.
