Hiya

Oh, sorry I'm used to DJ talk, where it's known as top end.

  Highs means more trebble in the E Q.

    Hi

    At the moment, I'm a virtual newbie, so I'm just experimenting.

    also, until I get a much better computer so taht I can record properly 
without wearing it into the ground, it just saves resources.

    OK, can someone explain what you're refering to as "highs"?  Not a drug 
reference I hope *smile*

      The problem is that he did everything on one track. The low tom he's 
hitting actually has a good amount of highs, but once the main mix hits, yeah 
you're right some of the instruments could use some more highs. Darren, how 
come you chose to record everything onto one track?

        Perhaps now, a smidgen of highs?  Awesome work my friend!

          Hi Nick

          Cheers for the comments.

          having now played with compression, it appears to have done the work 
for me.

          Unless I've got really tired ears now, the mix seems much smoother.

          And it did solve the over all levels issue too

            A new mix is here...

            thanks again everyone for your time and advice.

            chers
            Darren

            To me it rings true for that 80's commercial disco/fusion jazz 
sound... I might bring the synth snare down just a bit with respect to the rest 
of the mix.

            Hi Darren! 
            this is Jorgen here. 
            I have been listening to your Clouds song and I must say, I'm 
really impressed with what you've done with that song. I really like it. 
            Did you use only the tyros 2 or did you even use other softsynths? 
            once again, I am very impressed and it was no distortion at all. 
            cheers! 
            J"rgen Hansson!

            I like the "master mix" plugin in the vintage channel plugins. It 
should raise the volume, and also give it a bit of punch.

            Hi 

            Not as far as processing is concerned, only soft synths, and I'm 
not using soft synths for the backing tracks, not yet at least. 

            Cheers

            That would all depend on what kind of plugins you might have. Do 
you have any other plugins besides the ones that come with sonar?

            Hi 

            OK, I'll take a look at it. 

            Any suggested settings?

            Adding a compressor would still keep it sounding live I think. It 
would also help with your volume problem.

            Hi 

            No, it's pretty dry. 

            I want to keep it as dry and live sounding as possible as they will 
be used as backing tracks for live artists.

            Are you applying any compressors on the track? That would help 
tremendously.

            Hi all. 

            OK, I'm mixing down several midi tracks to a single stereo audio 
track. 

            If I leave the levels pretty much as they are, it clips and 
distorts like nothing on earth, but if I drop the levels to where they don't 
distort, the over all volume is really low. 

            Is it best to put up with this low level and then increase it using 
the audio trakcs volume to bring it back up to where it was? 

            I'm really asking for a good workflow method for getting the best 
possible levels. 

            to illustrate, take a listen to... 

            www.darrenhartland.com/music/clouds.mp3

            the levels when bouncing to audio were really low, but once the 
audio track was recorded, I increased it's volume to plus 3 and exported. 

            In this respect I really miss a good mixing desk. 

            cheers 
            Darren
