Week 9 - Posted on 2016-01-18 by Mitchell Tank

Really got into depth with plugins with my mentor this week, different kinds, their functions, what situations they work best in, etc. Also discussed inserts and sends more, as well as bouncing, freezing, and automation. I got to sit in on a hip hop mixing session which tied in great with this chapter. Basically the songs were just plain tracks (vocals, add libs, and beat) with no effects so it helped me learn what to do to really make a song sound rich, full, and unique. Ive been getting comfortable in the plugins and virtual instruments that come with pro tools and am having a lot of fun applying what im learning into my own music.
