So do the very best you can to make it sound great. I found out that even NS10's can sound great, but you'll have to work very hard.
And don't compress the two buss, remember it was Bruce Swedien who said: compression is for the kids and he certainly has a point by saying this.
Depends on the kind of music though (and the artist(s) of course. |
What works for Bruce Swedien and the type of music he does, doesnt mean it will work for you, Andy Wallace bangs his 2 buss compressor as do the Alge brothers and Bob Clearmountain. Tony Visconti in an interview once said compression is the sound of rock and roll. Consider this, you mix can change in mastering if you're not using 2 buss compression. As far as EQ goes a/b with some records in the ball park of the music you're mixing. Try to get close, one of the easier things for ME's to do is brighten up your mix.
