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.
