Home recording Mixing Tips Ep 2 (Part A) Mixing the rhythm section, Drums bass, guitars

This is Episode 2 part A.
In this lesson I will talk about how to mix a rhythm section and things to think about when you're making a mix. The song I am using is called "Breaking Away" by Max Rougier watch Episode 1 for more details about his song.

I am using Garageband 09 but the mixing tips & concepts will apply to all multi track recordings.

Hey I have a question. Why is it that when I send Garageband projects to Itunes why do they always sound empty and flat?If you get me?

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@martyevans1 One thing that can cause that is the volume difference when you export out of GB and into iTunes. I do have a video on how to correct that.It's called

"Exporting from Garageband into iTunes! Get the proper VOLUME!!"

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@tiagoemsantos What are you thinking about?

[stever199]

do you have two mouse pointers?

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@stever199 No, it was a problem with my old Screen recording program.

Haha! Keeping the sneeze was genious :D

@illthug98 No garageband is only for the Mac. If you have more questions search for my video "Is Garageband Only For the Mac?"

Hello:) I have a question about bass in general. When I make a bass track from my MIDI, the depth of it seems to fall flat and I cant seem to get that full and enhanced sound that fills the whole song. It comes out very shallow, and if I enhance the EQ then it comes out very distorted. Is there something wrong that I am doing during the pre-mastering stage, or the recording stage? Are their certain fixed settings I can put for it to come out as enhanced as professionally mastered Hip Hop songs?

@stever199 it's a glitch with his screen recorder

I have a question, I am mixing a song in which i recorded the drums for a drums kit, however the sound is too bright, should I equalize it on a different way?

[RonnyVain89]

it sounds like a new wave song.
