Chapter 17 Lesson - Posted on 2015-05-07 by Zach Manon

Chapter seventeen, automation was all about the importance of a mix sounding not just good as whole but every level on every track from panning to effect level to volume being in the right spot at every second of the song. I had a lot of fun applying automation to my mix project especially with the vocals. I got to sit in on a little bit of the final mixing sessions of Johnny Alleto's new album, Geronimo, with Rick Barnes, the owner of Rax Trax, engineering. I also sat in on some recording sessions for a band called Bullfights On Acid. They were a sca kind of rock band with some Latin fusion inspiration.
