It's hard to find good tips for mixing strings. This is great, thanks! +10 points for the correct pronunciation of 'timbre', and +infinity for the 'mosquito' remark.

Hi..thanks for the tips! I'm getting ready to copyright a song AM , and I am not happy with the slight unison/muddiness of my two lead strings & viola that come in together ..think my panning is okay, but needs better EQing... I'm checking both out tonight. 👍This was a big help ..thanks again

Also-What would your process be if you recorded a string quartet that included "extended technique" sounds on their instruments (like knocks on the wood, or palm-muted quiet "bowing" sounds)? would you separate the extended-technique sections out and process them differently?
@TreyMixes
4 жыл бұрын
Hi John, that’s certainly one way to do it. It would depend on the recordings. You have to factor in that those EQ moves may not benefit the extended techniques. Each situation is different. Same with compression. Has to do with the recordings and performances. It’s hard to say. The percussive elements like knocks mixes with tiny muted sounds would present a larger dynamic range so compression would probably control that. And you wouldn’t want to HPF as much on the knocks because most impact sound and feeling comes from 60-250 Hz and you might lose some of that if you filter too high. Just play with it until you find what you like.

I don't have an answer for your specific samples; but I would guess it might be present in the samples themselves and that's a product of how they were recorded. I don't have any EW string plugins, but most of those libraries have multiple mics that you can manipulate inside the plugin (close, deca, far, etc.) and maybe one of those pics has a buildup in that range. If so, try turning it down. Also, you may try stacking other samples to bolster the sound, and blending other samples in can sometimes round out a tone and be more pleasing for you. Hope that helped!

Anik Talukder If you are blending section-specific samples (violas and violas) and you’re looking to mimic orchestral panning, then yes. I would. But if you’re just going for a large, blanket, ensemble sound; then try mixing it up and see what you think sounds good!
