Here's where I'm at now.
I just realized that when it comes to mixing I have no guidance. I'd still be taking classes had I had time but thanks to full time job that's not possible. SO here I am!
My issues are that I feel I'm not filling the spectrum with my instruments. I feel like the guitars should be bigger. The bass and the kick drum are fighting each other's frequencies and for some reason, even with an analyzer, I can't get the kicks their own space away from the bass properly. Matter of fact I don't think I'm mixing the kicks properly at all.
As far as my guitars, I can't tell if my tone is too thin or if maybe there's something in my mix that I can do to make them more dominant. My bass is either too much or not enough. I try to make it less muddy but when I do I lose life from it.
The guitars are doubled left and right stereo tracks and are bussed together in PT10 with an S1 Stereo Imager and Massey Tapehead plugins with some EQ to cut some lows and make them less flubby.
The bass is EQ'd and has an AUX track with SanzAmp distortion. Both audio and aux tracks are bussed together with compression on the bus track.
Anything else you hear I'd like to know about. I greatly appreciate it!
