Clever Tricks - Posted on 2014-04-25 by Devin Charles

Last week's lesson blends right in with this week's lesson. Continuing with my current mix, I have been adding plugins to beef up the sounds I want and don't want. Taking things a step further, I have slowly been sending tracks to aux channels and creating completely different tones and sounds. Learning through my mentor, as well as the chapter guides has shown me what may be useful in future mixes. Along with signal processing and time based effects, I was able to brush up on tools like mid/side mixing. Techniques like these are great when needing/wanting to tune different frequencies. It has been handy having all of my different I/O buses organized so that I can send what ever audio I need quickly and efficiently. The more practicing I do, the better I'll feel with using everything available to me.
