WeвЂ™ve become aware that there is specific gear that pros use and various forums, articles, as well as ads for products all telling you вЂњyou need this or your mixes will never sound like (insert the вЂњITвЂќ mix engineer of the time)вЂќ. If you're boosting or cutting that much something is seriously wrong with the primary recording.There is that point all of us find ourselves when we know just enough about tracking and mixing to be dangerous. Thats not my intention at all.ДЄ 60db cut is bad. This is all meant to be helpful, not critical, so keep that in mind if my words read as a bit harsh. Never let your input signals hit the red. Digital is very sensitive to input levels and those analog pedals can easily overload the input.

There are other free DAWs that are far better and have great plug ins. You want to majority of the sound to be there before the final tweaking. You dont want to be cranking compressors, limiters and EQs to shape the sound. To achieve what you want, you need to make clean clear recordings with minimal EQ / FX, then use something like a tube preamp / compressor plug in that will give a low-fi old school vibe to your recordings. Heavily distorted guitars will be a fizz fest anywhere near 8K. Even 8K is a stretch, unless your trying to add a bit of high end breathing to the track. No guitar or vocal sits at 16K, unless its Alvin Chipmunk on vocals. A reference track is a song that sounds similar to what you're after, that you can 'reference' when creating yours. You need a decent pair of reference monitors to mix on, and if possible, a couple of different speaker configurations to listen to the final product.ДЄ reference track wouldnt hurt either. Yes, its an art form making music sound as if it was made in a basement with a $10 Walmart microphone.ДЄs mentioned, headphones arent the best for mixing. Even the most raw sounding bands in history were heavily produced in the studio. Second, low-fi Grunge (or Rock or Punk) isnt really low-fi. When it comes to EQs, there is no one size fits all. How can they? They are made by other people playing and listening to different music on different gear. If this comes across as bashing, its not, this is strictly constructive criticism and advice.ДЇirst, preset EQs arent going to help you. Lets break this down, and be brutally honest. If you're boosting or cutting that much something is seriously wrong with the primary recording. Good luck and sorry for the novel.Д¬lick to expand.A 60db cut is bad.

This is probably more than you wanted to deal with at this point but getting good recordings is a combo of trial and error, experience, experimentation and objective understanding of what ' sound ' I'm not even going to get into compression, limiting and sonic space. You may find a preset that works as a starting point( grunge, rock, jazz, whatever) but those presets are only a starting point. As for EQ settings, Each track is going to have its own sonic characteristics so you have to adjust eq accordingly. The trick to mixing and mastering is to find a balance wherein the tracks sound good ( relatively speaking) on all reproduction equipment. I mix down through three separate pairs of speakers and in mono to get a good mix before going through other systems. Once you have a decent mix on them, then play the tracks through various other devices( computer speakers, car speakers, home stereo, headphones,etc.) and you will notice the tracks sound completely different on each system. If you REALLY want to know how your tracks are going to translate you have to have a good set of studio monitors and the flatter their response the better. Headphones give you only one sonic representation of your recordings and usually an enhanced version. You need to play the tracks through various speakers. First off to get an ACCURATE representation of your tracks headphones, regardless of how good they are, won't do it.
