Chapter 12 is very interesting because there is so much to learn about mixing and mastering. For the mixing project I chose the elecronica beat and I actually went to mix it more than once because after the first time I was not satisfied with the way it sounded so the next day i went to try and make it better by playing around with all the different sounds and trying to really figure out where the right placements for eveything. I throught this project was very fun, but wish they had mpre of a rap/ hip hop type of beat. Over all This week has been a great one!
-Section 1:
- Things that can be done before the mixing starts:
- File Management
- Labeling: Your tracks
- Markers: Separate songs into verse, chorus, etc.
- Color Coding: Your tracks
- Rename Busses: I/O section in the setup menu
- Grouping or sub-grouping: Can do changes to multiple channels at one time.
- Listening to the song..
Review Questions:
- Markers in Pro tools allow the user to organize a session and easily navigate through sections of a song: True
- File management refers to: All of the above
- A good rule of thumb in a mix situation is to set your self up for fluid creative function: True
Review Questions:
- A(n) "effect" is anything you add to your signal path that changes the sonic characteristics of the audio signal.
- Getting a rough mix together can be done fairly quickly by adjusting the "effects" and the "automation" of your song
- Renaming busses in pro tools is possible through the "I/O" tab of the setup menu
- Compression is "multiplicative"
- Two general ways to use EQ are "Additive and subtractive"
