Hello,
Introducing myself. An average musician (guitar/drums) who loves music, and sound engineering. I am currently producing a CD for a Christian band in Colorado, but am relatively new to mixing and mastering. I have a detached studio in my backyard where I do my recording and mixing, but mostly mixing stuff recorded in more fitting studios (my setup is mostly for mixing). I use Sonar Platinum, and both Focal 8.5" studio monitors as well as a reference system with B&W mains and sub. I love all things mixing... and have become quite adept at "fixing" tracks that have been recorded in non-ideal situations (especially drums).
Oh... I am mostly deaf in my left ear... but have learned how to mix in stereo with various techniques (lots of reference, head turning, and mono mixing, and more recently, a hearing aid). I'll be posting in the Critique section to get feedback. Note, the hearing aid is helpful for balance, but terrible for tone as it distorts the sound -- so I trust my good ear for that.
