Inside Track: Mixing Guitar

Jul 1, 2007 12:00 PM, By Kevin Becka


MAKING SIX-STRINGS SING By: By Kevin Becka

The words “signature” and “guitar” go hand in hand. Along with a well-conceived and -played part, a well-crafted mix draws the listener in and sells the tune, whether it's country, R&B, pop, metal or jazz. To guarantee a good mix, you have to take into account the interplay between the guitars and the rest of the track. Is the guitar a lead track carrying the melody? Is it more of a rhythm part in a supporting role? Or is it intermittent, random ear candy, weaving its way in and out as the tune progresses? The first steps on the road to a great mix involve analyzing your resources and formulating a good plan.
