In Part 1 we covered microphone positions. In this article we will cover mixdown tracks. This is seen by some as the most difficult part of the recording process, because it usually last no longer than until the tracks start to mix the tracks.

Especially when you mix on the track when you received your instruments and vocals much as I do in my studio, using only microphones, and possibly a preamp for the mics. This is the way I like to recordmuch of the music in my studio, because I'm using ProTools and use the plug-ins during the mix down phase. If you are not with ProTools (or other computer based multi-recorder), but a modern multi-track recorder, I would recommend that in addition to the advantages and the microphones a good compressor during the recording phase.

Now when mixing on the tracks, then you will change the volume. They are also to edit the panning, left or right of the track.It will also impact on the length of this phase. In general, if the guitar or bass, you should already from the effects of the amplifier that you live under normal conditions. This is strict, so you will not have a problem with the new live sound in the future. But if you do not and you need more, with the plug-ins of your multi-track is perfect.

You should also run a compressor on all tracks, as well as a limiter, if possible.This will keep the way of clipping and to keep the volume of the track fairly constant. It also streamlines the sin waves of sound and keep your sound from jumping from one place to another.

Upon receipt of any effects on your tracks, you should concentrate on mixing the sound. It will check your levels set where you need it. If you are computer-based software, you should be able to automate the title. Here you will actually write the title and set the level inPlay the song. After completion of the playback, set the length again to read and increase the level and reduce the incidence of non-specified by you during the writing process.

Once you have done so, and if you would like to use a computer, you must have a master track to create where again, you can write the master faders. This control is the total volume of the song. If a track is too loud, you have to adjust back to this book and. In addition, you should never use impactson the master track.

Once you have written to the master fader, you should record the file to disk bounce on CD if you have a stand-alone recorder. If you use your computer, skip the file to your hard drive and you're ready to record it to disk, or the title of master himself, if you have to do the software.

If you do not have the software to master your song, send it to a company and must have dominated. It depends on who does not how much you spend. CommonAlways talk a good company to do for you it costs only $ 50 - $ 75 per song and can run up to thousands.

If you are still mastering software, you should either download the WAV file of the song in your bounce down or invite you to start your CD. Once you've mastered your length, you will immediately see a huge difference in sound quality before you start and after.

These are some of the tricks, a great sounding demo disk at home, without alot of money.
