Add Relief To Dull Mixes Options

[emilenaux]

Hi

I've been using Logic Express for a little while now, and although I get really nice results, I find my mixes are way too flat and dull.
I read somewhere on this forum that Logic isn't particularly meant for mixing and mastering, and that I need some software to do that job.

What would that software be ?
Is it Sound Forge or WaveLabs ?
If so, what process should I put my song through in order to get a more brilliant sound ?
And should I put in my whole bounce or one track or instrument at a time ?

Thanx

Logic is fine for mixing! If your mixes are dull and flat, it's not the softwares fault. You can master in Logic as well... it comes with everything you need...the only minus being that the multipressor is only presets in Express. But, if your mixing isn't up to snuff, you really don't need to be mastering. Read up on the basic, unexciting tools: EQ, Compression, Gating. You should be able to get a mix jumping with just those. Good mixes come from knowledgable application of the basics and your ears, not from a particular piece of software.

Good luck and have fun!
