Awesome, thanks again for all this great advice, this is really helpful. I've been reading about mixing, but it hasn't been entirely sinking in. I'm probably letting it overwhelm me a bit -- there's a lot to learn, but I appreciate how you emphasize some basic and important points, stuff I need to hear.
I'm also taking some courses on Lynda.com on the new Logic X and on mixing, so hopefully that will also fill in some knowledge gaps for me.
Sure, next thing I record guitar for I will send your way - EQ ing help would be nice, I really don't have an ear for it yet. Thanks for the offer
