I think a lot also has to do with the fact that I'm not 100% sure about my monitors. If I listen to a track I like and then dive right into tracking some guitars, I'll be after a sound I have in my head. If I go right into without a reference, I sometimes opt for sound that seems to sound good at the time and make no sense down the road.
I've been tracking instrument after instrument without much adjustment to the mix aside from levels. I'm thinking about processing the drums after I'm done with them to get a better sound, which might setup the mix to have the next instrument fit in better during tracking. It's sometimes hard to tell where the guitars fit without eq'ing the drums and bass it seems because there's not a good spot for them to sit. The players also seem to have more difficulty tracking like that because it seems like more midrange nonsesnse and they can't differentiate tempo and hear themselves at the the same time. That obviously is because of bad micing. But again, I think it would direct the song better and probably make mixing much easier as well.
any thoughts?
