Hi

Have been given a project to do 4 the first time and need this perfect (especially them knowing I boast about mixcraft)

This is the case;

I'll b using drums, bass, keyboard, organ, strings, horns, sax and vocals.
Here's what advice I need from u guys, starting simple of course

what effects do u apply on each instrument and vocals and what overall effects do u apply to the entire mix before mixdown?

thanx

it depends on the type of music you are trying to do.

for vocals add a little bit of reverb and compression to bring it out.

for the kicks add EQ , and apply bass boost.

and for all the rest its up to u.

Really there are no rules at all. Whatever works for you. I would recommend compressing vocals almost always though.
