For private, 1-to-1 mixing lessons and consulting click the link below: https://www.martinmixing.com/inquiries In this video series my goal is to lay a solid foundation to learning how to EQ every instrument. We will have a look at multiple samples of each instrument, from bad to good recording quality, so you can see how a mixer treats them to achieve a good starting point for further sound shaping. Most instruments have similar issues, but there is a lot of nuance that can be difficult to hear and notice for most people starting to mix. I want to break down this barrier and help you identify problematic areas quickly and easily, so you can focus on creating music. Guitars have some unique problems both in the recording and mixing stage, which we'll discuss thoroughly in this video. 00:00 Intro 00:15 The Importance of recording quality 00:39 Tips to record acoustic guitars 01:31 Guitar 1 bad, muddy acoustic guitar 03:43 Guitar 2, well recorded strummed acoustic guitar 05:24 Guitar 3, Strummed high chords, good recordiing 07:25 Guitar 4, high chords strummed 09:20 All guitars without processing 10:49 Summary, final tips Not paid promotion, but if you are keen on good monitoring check out the Neumann monitors, especially the KH310.
