i finaly have all my equipment together in one room in one space next
to my computer. i have a 909, 505, er1, and 2 keyboards(an1x and
fizmo). all of these run into a beringer 12 track mixer, then to
Presonus BlueMax Compressor(not the greatest compressor). when i
play 4 different instruments(including 909 and 505), i have a lot of
different tracks playing in one pattern. it is coming out in a wall
of sound. nothing is really seperated. i have messed with the
compressor and nothing really quite gets it. is there a quick and
easy solution?, or should i buy seperate compressors for each
instrument?, do i need EQ? i know when i record i can idividualy
compress each sound, but i am worried that the next time i play in
front of people, they will miss the depth in the music. thanx!
