Jeremy Wright

I am a big fan of cutting EQ as opposed to boosting. It seems more natural to me to cut away what I don't need instead of boosting frequencies and leaving to bad stuff to muddy up the track. As for panning your guitars L and R, a trick I am very fond of is only recording one guitar part and copying it to another track. I then nudge the copied part a few milliseconds or so. From there I may alter the EQ on both tracks to that they are not the same. I have had pleasant results from this method. http://www.mississippimixing.com/index.html https://www.facebook.com/MississippiMixing

I bought an Presonus AudioBox 1818 back around Christmas to use with Logic Pro 9. It comes with some software that allows you add EQ and Compression while you are recording. It was very frustrating to start with because every track I recorded would have tons of pops and clicks! After a few months of searching, I was finally able to find an update to get rid of the pops and clicks. Everything works great now. I love the interface.
