Mixing down saxophones

tillyxengineer · 27th February 2007

I have a project to be in, in a week or so and i am having trouble finding interesting ways to put my saxophone (recorded with a geffel) into my mix along side acoustic guitar/vox. I only have logic pro so i can only use those plugins. can anyone give me any ideas?

thanks

If the vox/acoustic GTR are played by one person I would have the sax a bit panned and with a distant room sound.

Image the vox and ACSTC as being intimate and the sax more ambient.

Is that any help?

I could just picture a person singing and playing the ACSTC as the main focus of the song and the sax (which is like a second voice) responding to the vocal as an answer line thing.

I'd use the sax to define the ambient space the performance is taking place in.
