Hey all
I'm relatively new to recording and mixing and it'd be awesome if someone could give me some basic 101 guidelines to producing and mixing one's own music. I'm working on a cello cover of the Maiden song 2 A.M (Keyboard intro, Cello, Electric Cello) and the result is pretty cringeworthy. I'm usually not keen hearing myself recorded, but I'm a very good musician, so I was kind of taken aback at the really bad output from the cello. In addition, during the verse, two separately recording tracks of the plucking line and the bowed melody are out of sync. In addition, the mixing is really uneven and awkward.
If someone could point out what's screwing this up and what I'm doing wrong so I can fix it, it would be much appreciated.
Except for the blatant copy-paste editing in the middle, I already know that's bad, it's just fillabuster until I've recorded the final version.
