Hello everyone!
I'm finishing up mixing my band Forth Effect's debut CD and getting ready to send everything to mastering. About halfway through the mixing process I got fed up with plugins eating up all of my processor usage, so I bit the bullet and purchased two UAD's. After getting over some hardware hiccups, it's been smooth sailing! I now have the freedom to use the CPU for more creative plugins and use the UAD's for all the necessities.
I've mixed on and off for the past 5 years and consider myself a novice when it comes to mixing. I've done plenty of reading and googling to help me out along the way. Any critiques/comments/criticism/etc would be well appreciated! I want to get things sounding as good as I can before we drop down the $$$ on mastering. Hopefully this will end up sounding pretty professional even though we recorded it in my living room
These are the two songs we'll be using for promotion. I inserted the precision limiter on the final buss at around +3db to control the peaks a bit (1-2db of reduction in a few places).
