Quote by: rover101 Listened to several of your tunes, and there were a couple where the nylon string was a bit 'washy' in the bass. Given that re-recording isn't an option (it sounds like mic placement/room is the basic problem), personally I would compress the bass a bit, just enough to give a little extra definition.

I'll check it out...thanks, rover

hey guitapick,

I'm really not that experienced yet, but I go to this site time and time again. Its easy to read and offers really great/sound advice. It covers almost everything in the recording process, from mics and preamps to room acoustics to mixing and mastering.

As a start, I would check out the articles "Mixing 101" and "Using EQ" to help with your low-end problems with the guitar.

Anyways, just another resource to consider. good luck!

Good studio monitors are key here. I use KRK Rockit5 and they work well. It is a "challenge". When I complete a mix I will take it to the car, computer speakers, boom box, etc.. and check it out. (sometimes not) I have learned that it is "experience" using trial and error with compression and EQ. (Remembering what works and what doesn't id key) We are all trying to produce the best mix we can and we learn as we go - what to and not to do. From my own experience working in recording studios and mixing live sound the most important tool is your ears. There are lots of software plug-in tools to help you however it comes down to the man at the desk and his hearing. Only working - experimenting and trying things will make you better and one day that mix will sound awesome in almost every medium.

My thoughts - Best of luck,

mvh : )
