We have been getting some commercial intrest with our recent moby remix but we didn't master the track correctly. I am intrested in finding out more about what's the best effect's and where to use them are in the actual "mixing" stage, rather than our music becoming 'mush' in the final version. We have a professional sound, but it's still no where near as good as the like's of Above&Beyound or similar trance act's.
I purchased the new Computer Music magazine which had an 8 page spread on 'mixing' and what filter's to use on what instrument's to give the correct headroom (or enough to work with). It give me some rough guide's but nothing that was really perfectly suitable for our work.
I was looking into purchasing UAD-1 Plugins specifically for mixing, i noticed Thrillseekers/Above&Byeound use these exclusively, but it's where to apply the correct effect's that's confusing me.
I need to find out as much information on what's the best effects to use for each section of mixing, mastering, specifically how to handle the correct effect usuage specifically for euphoric/uplifting style trance with big synth lines
big-room stuff mainly...What's the best book's/tutorials to use to learn as quick as possible about this area? I have full understanding of synth programming and host usuage.
We are using FLStudio 5.2 and also curious to know if it would be possible to simply use the included effects plugins (specifcally the EQ/Fiters) for commercial grade trance music?
We have been using TC Work's for compression, reverb, delay, phaser at present.
Thank's in advance!
