Halp! GarageBand mixing-been trying to trial & error it...

Post by draelyc »

So, all the individual tracks were recorded into a Zoom MRS 1608, a long time ago, actually. Eventually, I was able to dump the tracks into GarageBand after I got a Mac. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get a good sounding mix, but the new environment has so many options and so much processing power that guessing my way through feels more like spinning wheels.

Here's the latest mix. Any basic advice for a GB n00b?

Got some advice on TGP. (Also got some real attitude, nice. :-/ ) But I think this is a pretty good improvement:

Sounds good. I'm starting to play with Garage Band for my own band's demos as well. Any tips you gained over there, I'll gladly listen to without the attitude.

Not sure what you're looking to change mix-wise. :idk:
