What you will learn from this course:
 |
Mix Preparation & First Balance |
| What is the musical idea of the song. Setting up your session for a great mixing workflow, order of tracks, grouping, creating busses. Identifying the most important section and instruments in your song. |
|
Avoid Common Mixing Errors |
| Referencing, “louder sounds better”-trap, finding the right mixing volume, subtractive vs additive EQ, dithering, phasing, awareness for resonances caused by your environment and many more. |
|
Bass Layers & Sub Bass Separation |
| Why mono bass, separating sub frequencies, kick-bass side-chaining techniques, multiband side-chaining, dynamic EQ, etc. |
|
Complete Mixing Process |
| After finding a first balance and an order for our mixing process we’re working our way through cleaning, gain staging, eqing, compressing, sound enhancing, bussing, balancing the track step by step, working our way down from the most important elemtents. |
|
Compression-Techniques |
| How the compressor works and is applied in the mixing stage, drum and bass compression, side-chain compression, multiband compression, parallel compression, New-York compression, limiting |
|
EQing-Techniques |
| Dealing with resonances, learn to avoid upward spirals of EQ boosting, best practise to avoid frequency masking, why we favor cuts over boosts, why to use shelf filters before peak filters, before notch filters, mid-side EQ, etc. |
|
Covering Theoretical Background |
| Phase cancellation, room treatment, law of the first wavefront, how our ears sense the direction and distance of sound, Fletcher-Munson Curve, anti-phase |
|
Sweetening to taste |
| Adding sound enhancing elements, like send reverbs, stereo effects, slap delays on our vocals, haas effect, etc. |
