Hi good people, Many thanks for all the advice. As I suspected, there probably is no one best way that can be agreed by all. The approach one takes will reflect the experience, plugin choices in your fx folder, and time available to the engineer. I now need to figure out what’s my way of tackling this…that is, until I find a better way and incorporate the advice from other helpful souls.
As for a screenshot, I confess that I don’t know how to do this. But, let me share the source! The files are (practically) free to all, can be used as you wish, and for me are serving as great educational material on which to practice my mixing. Check out Warren Huart’s mixing lessons for the band Little Empire and song Stay New. If you subscribe (free, but he will then send you via emails once in awhile), you’ll receive a link to the individual multitrack wave files. In fact, Matthew Weiss even used the drum tracks as a basis for 2 of his recent video tutorials (Pro Audio Files on YouTube). These files are dynamic. So, I’m doing better than just sending a screenshot – you’ve now got the entire raw mix to play with. Cheers.
