Discuss the various methods you use in music production, from compressor settings to equipment type.

I fooled around with my multitracker this past weekend. I noticed that my beats, when separated on the multitracker, don't sound as thick the mix coming off of the mixing console. Note that every sound is separated on my mixing console too.
Anyway, does anyone else have this problem??? I feel that I could get the multitracker to sound like the mixboard by using eq and plugins and what not. But dam, I already hear the mix the way a like it, and its already sequenced.

I am interested in knowing some thoughts of producers and beatmakers about this situation. I made this post on some other boards, but I want some MPC user input- since i use an MPC as my primary piece of gear.

Peace

BTW, my multitracker is ProToolsLE 5.3.1 (24 bit, 44.1 kHz) if this matters.

What is your computer playing back thru........ie: straight to monitors or thru the mixing board? if its thru the board then what ever channel you have it playing back thru set all your eq settings to the middle or 0 and it should reproduce the sound exactly how you sent it in........If this is not the case please holla back

I already have the outputs set to zero on the eq on the mix console. And I have the output going straight to powered monitors, too.

And neither tracked multitraacker mix sounds like the mixboard mix...
