Hello all...I'm new to the forum after a long time lurking. I'm wondering what peoples thoughts are on how to achieve a showgaze sound (a la My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Slowdive, etc) in terms of the mixing and recording process. I've got a lot of time on my hands for the next few weeks, and I plan on putting together a record with my multitracker (which I'll record every instrument with). What are peoples thoughts on where to put each instrument in the mix, effects, etc? I could definetely use some help with this, as I'm musically inclined but am a bit of a beginner when it comes to the recording process. I really want a full, shimmering sound in the same vein as slowdive's souvlaki...any tips?
