Vespers Sometimes the most rewarding production tricks or techniques are the simplest ones. Certainly they are often the ones that yield the most “happy accidents,” the term I use for when experimentation yields something that rocks. Over the next while, I’m going to go through some of my go-to tricks for inspiration from unlikely sources – the often overlooked, sometimes misunderstood, always unappreciated devices in Live’s catalog. Today we’re going to kick it off with a not-so-common use of the Live’s Gate. This little guy right here: Everyone (or rather MOST people) know about Live’s sidechain input on its compressor. What many people don’t know about, or at least don’t utilize, is the sidechain in on the Gate device. Like sidechain compression, it’s a useful feature to pull out when making things dovetail together in the mix to clean up a signal, but in general when I use it it’s for an entirely different purpose. Basically the approach is this: 1 – Take a sustained note from a synth.
General Audio Mixing Techniques - Tips and Tricks | Producer Spot This article is an introduction to mixing technique, some great tips and tricks for helping you to better understand the art of mixing. From first you need to distinguish between mixing and mastering, because it’s a fundamental difference in the techniques and tools used and results. Audio mixing, generically defined is the process by which multiple sounds from various sources (records, sample CDs / Banks, synthesis, etc.) are conbined in one or more audio channels, generally in one stereo. It is important to understand what is the middle of the song. There are some general rules that apply in mixing music. First and most important in my opinion, the golden rule, if you want, is to not touch the MASTER FADER ! To adjust the listening volume using the knob on the control unit monitors the audio interface or amplifier. This is just a personal preference, it’s my golden rule. I noticed that it’s better to work at mixing at a fairly low volume, and this for two reasons. 1. 2.
