Hey you dorks I have audio engineering question for you.
Im currently mixing a song , should I export the instrumental and then lay vocals over it or should I try to lay vocals immediately without exporting? then try to master. I feel like if I export it then lay vocals it wont sound the same. I mixed it correctly, lowered the master fader about 20 -15 db &&& gave mix just the right amount of head room. I love the outcome, but I want to hear your opinions.
let me hear em

i don't know what you mean. many people record, produce, mix, and master from the same DAW. there's no reason why you can't.
but whatever you're doing, you probably want all of the tracks in the same DAW while you're mixing. it'd be dumb to mix all of the instrumentals by themselves without the vocals.
can you describe with more detail?

kevin shields of my bloody valentine says he prints the instrumental mix and adds the vocal afterwards to avoid upsetting the balance or something
I don't understand it fully though

im mixing a song, I'm afraid that if I export instrumental I wont be able to recreate certain sounds because of cracked plugins&& not sure if I can get same depth of sound afterwards it is exported, should I bounce audio then mix / master vocals all in the same file project or export entire instrumental then lay vocals after .
should I do it all in one go
Do it all in one go. A good mix needs to consider the vocals and leave the right amount of room for them, which is very hard to do if you're only working with a stereo file.

Why do you need to export them? Are you going to a studio or something?
If not, do it all in one go.
