Horns in Mix
Hey everybody! I'm doing a mix w/horns playing a major role. It's a jazzy-dance song. Drums are live and programed, live bass loop.
Any ideas on how to get a good blend of horns as far as eq and I have a sax/tenor, sax/sopranito, trumpet, trombone doing mainly stabs. SL

Re: Horns in Mix
try to pan each horn around (subtly) to put them in a good space.
I find that "breaking up" chords across the stereo field gives you a great sound.

Re: Horns in Mix
Thanks for the reply Tom.
How big should the horns be, in terms of eq. Any prefered spaces on them in terms of a echo/reverb. The song I'm mixing is 130Bpm

Re: Horns in Mix

Re: Horns in Mix
I tried to bus it out to a delay with a mod on it and it started to clutter the mix. Remember its a relly fast tempo around 130 bpm.
Although, I can still try it on a small stabs , yeah Thanks Nomad

Re: Horns in Mix
Try recording all the horns at once standing in a semi- circle around an M-S stereo mic setup.
The players love playing together, you get automatic and believable panning plus it sounds great. The performance will more than make up for any sound degradation. |

Re: Horns in Mix
Thanks for all the repliess guys.
Steve, Everything is already been recorded i come just to mix. As oppose to live band this is more of a house dance tune with live horns and live drums plus some sequences My question was how big should the horns be. I can make it sound like a group of horns playing in the restaurant sort of s latin feel Thanks again for all replies

Re: Horns in Mix
This is not a classic arrangement, so i ask: how big do YOU want the horns to be?
