http://jer.spoonybards.com/stuff/%5bTSB%5d%20-%20The%20Moon%20OCR%20WIP%203.mp3 I've reset everything and started the mix up from scratch to go for a quieter mix, as the original was way too loud. I've made the adjustments regarding the guitar's panning, delay and reverb. I've also done a few EQ things to help the strings come out more, making some frequency cuts in the electric guitar. I still have to bring out the melody for the electric piano - since it switches from a backing part to a lead part, I think I'll have a separate track for lead and mix it separate from when it plays backing... unless that isn't the way to go for this. I'm also going to treat the beginning section differently than the rest of the song, since the strings play a different part in it.

Do you have any tips on bringing out the acoustic guitar during the solo?

Regarding the stereo separation, I'll definitely give that a shot. I had it originally, but then I added the piano part and then had no idea where it should sit in the mix. Thanks for the advice about the EQ (and everything else), I'll definitely fix that!

Hi, I've never posted here before, and am a little bit nervous about doing so. I've got an arrangement from my band's EP that had a really rushed production job due to time constraints, and would like some advice on how to properly mix audio. I used to work with MIDI years ago, but never got a hold of how to properly handle live audio [via Sonar 8]. Everything I semi-figured out is due to Google. Anyway, the track is my arrangement of The Moon, with the following tracks with how I recorded each one: 12 violins, each recorded independently, amp mic'd. 2 synth keyboards, via midi -> softsynth. (one piano, one synth) 1 bass, line out from amp. 1 synth drums, via midi -> softsynth. 1 acoustic guitar, 2 mics. 1 electric guitar, Line 6 plugin direct. The Spoony Bards - The Moon I would really appreciate any and all advice on making this sound the best it possibly can. In turn, I hope to produce music you enjoy. Thanks!
