The “MIR” series concept
Sitting in on a mixing session is not something every home studio musician has the opportunity to do. I aimed to give the experience of sitting with me through a mix, sharing tips as I go and all for less cost than an hour of studio time.
This new video training product gives you an over the shoulder look at one of my mixing sessions. Over the course of a few hours I take you through the process of preparing to mix, creating a rough mix, processing, automation and finally mastering a catchy, energetic, pop-punk song.
Here’s what you’ll learn from this course:
- Top-down mixing approach
- Mix bus processing for control and enhancing
- Equalizer techniques that get results fast
- Compression starting points to get the mix under control
- Gain staging strategies to avoid overloading the master
- Organizing tracks with folders and colors with minimal effort
- Reaper functions that save time and effort in every project
- Multi-track audio routing for drum samplers (Steven Slate Drums v4)
- How to use 3 virtual guitar amp fx processors (Amplitube; Helix; Le456)
- Blending bass guitar effects
- Using saturation plugins to add excitement
- A powerful custom action solving 90% of automation tasks
Includes:
- Multi-track session for mixing practice
