Mixing With The Pros - James Tuttle
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 plugins 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.
The DVD also includes all of the individual source
files for the song ("Incognito" by John McVey) James
mixed. Load them in to your own DAW system - Mac or PC - and
follow along!
