Does any have any helpful ideas on mixing guitar, bass, and vocals?

Answer 1

For Bass —

The ratio between the low bass (80–120Hz) and the mid-bass (130Hz–200Hz) is important. Try using two fairly narrow peaking bands, one at 100Hz and another at 140Hz and boost one and cut the other. If the bass is too warm, sometimes reducing the upper band can make it more distinct without removing the deeper fundamentals that live in the 100Hz band. Also, try boosting some of the 1kHz area since this is where a lot of the sound of the bass lives.

For Guitars —

Boost midrange a lot (9dB or so) and sweep the frequencies until you hear the range where the guitar sounds thick but yet still bright enough to cut through. Now, back the boost down to about +4 or so until the guitar cuts through the mix without being too bright.


For Vocals—

Boost a little at 125Hz to 250Hz to accentuate the voice fundamental and make it more “chesty”-sounding. The 2kHz to 4kHz range accentuates the consonants and makes the vocal seem closer to the listener.

Answer 2

Vocals stay out front, of course.

You can get better separation between the bass guitar and kick by rolling of some of the lowest frequencies of the bass and some of the top of the kick for better separation and dinstinction in the mix. This will keep the bottom end from having that "muddy" sound.

Answer 3

exciting decision on James Iha for the reason that he exchange into the rhythm guitarist for the Smashing Pumpkins anyhow Layne Stayle (AIC) - Lead Vocal Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) - Backing Vocals / Guitar Jagori Tanna (I mom Earth) - Guitar Eric Avery (ex. Jane's habit) - Bass Jimmy Chamberland (ex. Smashing Pumpkins) - Drums

Answer 4

take the base and put it up a little higher the the guitar just a little bit if the bassline is cool and the vocals should be like ether higher or the same as the loudest track depending on what kind of sound you are ;looking for
