Your approach of mixing seems to be completely different to mine. I'm doing old school engineering, IOW the basic for the song I' doing now, for each channel is Fons' parametric EQ and I will add at least one aux for reverb today, but limiting/compression is something to avoid. Placing instruments in the "frequency room" by using EQs or by killing dynamic are completely different schools. The long and the short of it, you found your personal way using Qtracor in a satisfying way, but Qtractor hardly can be used for a common professional engineering workflow. Qtractor's mixer design needs a lot of improvement. A good mixer without automation is better, than such an unfinished mixer with automation. Note that motorized faders in professional studios are seldom used to move the faders during a production, they usually are used to restore different production mixer settings. Panning vs balance and audio vs MIDI CC fading are also serious issues. The mixer should control the audio stream and not send MIDI CCs. For stereo channels there should be the choice to balance between left and right or to individual pan the left and the right channel. 2 Cents, Ralf |
