How many guitar tracks did you use in the mix? Maybe it would help if you added a duplicate track of the guitar and use it as a bass booster since walang bass sa track. Adjust the level nalang para hindi masyado maging muddy. hehe, suggestion lang. Ang galing! I'm also 19, paturo naman ng drum mixing, how many mics did you use for the drums?. haha
i used 2 overheads, 1 rack tom, 1 floor tom, 1 snare, 1 kick and 1 hat
well i dont really know how to explain how i got the sound or anything but heres some of the things i did:
put a noise gate sa snare to make it "pop" talaga. i set the attack at around 15-40ms and decay at around 100-250. sa kick and hats rin but i forgot ano timpla ko.
i set the overheads panned 100% left and 100% right respectively. i make sure in the band mix that theyre barely audible. any important cymbal hits like ride stuff (ting ting ting i dunno whats that called), i create a separate track. for everything else sa drums, its pretty much 1 track per part
sa guitars i tried to emulate my fave' band converge's mixing and at the same time a band called "envy" from japan. napaka powerful ng mixes nila.
my problem now is that i want the bass to be heard (not just felt) without sacrificing the current guitar tone. if i lessen any frequency sa guitar, the tone will be sacrificed.
i figured the bass tone should be changed. not by eq, but by rerecording the bass mismo. some basses have characteristics rin kasi. pbass ginamit namin which isnt really that good in terms of standing out sa mix. a jazz bass or a stingray would really stand out. sa pbass kasi if i eq the lows too much, it just rumbles a lot.
in terms of clarity, this ones the clearest version so far and everything just falls into place. previous mixes were damn muddy and not everything can be heard.
