Green Day, etc) unya ipatukar sa room ni galen ug mikmik and try to note/memorize its sonic response in both rooms. Maggamit sad ni ninyo nga basihanan inig mix ninyo para ma-compensate ninyo ang frequency ups and downs sa room which results to better translation to the outside world. pa bantayi gyud na ang lower mid range(120-350Hz) kay mao ni nga range where most intrument's fundamental freq. mag overlap ug mawala ang clarity sa kada instrumento tungod ani nga overlap/masking. basi lang pud ni sa ako experience, sa dili pa mogamit ug EQ, try to arrange the instruments in your sound stage(the PANORAMA pots). this will save you in equing and save CPU resources and also avoid the masking effect. masking effect happens when two signals of the same freq and same direction/panning are sounded at same time but with different amplitudes, ang signal nga mas taas ug amplitude mo tabon sa signal nga gamay ug amplitude. anhi dinhi gamit kaayo ang panorama pots to redirect signals. i call panpots as direction pots para dali sabton.
bahin sad sa balancing sa vocals ug uban pa, dapat dili na angay sitahon ang engineer kay kong dili kabantay ang engineer naa diay wala ma balance, then he is not doing his job. at least, ang engineer mobasa gyud sa lyrics ug iya sabton ang mensahe sa kanta para naa siya idea ug ma apply niya during sa mixing.
Pagkahoman sad sa static mix, that's the time to take advantage of automation to add dynamics and excitement to your song. Music without dynamics is boring and lifeless. And don't think dynamics is only applicable to classical music, it can be apply also to other genre. Music is analogous to life, life without ups and downs(dynamics in music) is boring. You see, there's more to mixing.
Unya, experiment, experiment and don't quit. And know the rules before you break it..
Hinaut maka tabang ako idea bisag gamay ra..
Thanks.
