Mixing with the Pros - You've purchased tutorial DVDs to learn how to use your music software. Now learn how to mix - right from the pros.
In this video, James Tuttle will show you how EQs, compressors, limiters, reverbs, delays, amp simulators, automation, and mastering plug-ins are all used to craft a mix that has clarity, depth, punch, pop, and sizzle.
You'll get to see how and when each are introduced and how the entire mix is adjusted continuously as more and more elements are added. You'll begin to see how professional mixers "see" and "hear" a mix as a whole rather than as disparate techniques.
The techniques in this tutorial can be applied to any software or hardware-based effects units. You'll be able to examine the final settings for each and every plugin in the mix and finally understand how those settings are attained. - Not as one-off uses of presets, but as continual adjustments to the various elements of the mix. For once, users can truly see what happens behind the scenes of a mixing session in a professional recording studio.
