Jump into the basics of mixing audio in this course designed specifically for aspiring audio engineers. Explore how to manipulate and enhance audio for your environment.
Key Points:
- Grasp the core principles of summation and cancellation. They are essential concepts for understanding how sounds interact within a mix.
- Discover the most valuable tools for shaping the tone of an audio signal. These tools lay the groundwork for creating the desired soundscapes in your mixes.
- Equalization (EQ) is a powerful tool in your arsenal. Learn what EQ is, how it works, and how to use it effectively. Balance and enhance the frequencies of your audio.
- Uncover the mysteries of compression. Learn what it is, why it's used, and how to apply it. Use compression to control dynamics and add punch or clarity to your sounds.
- Dive into the functionality of noise gates. Understand how they can clean up your audio. They do this by reducing unwanted background noise or bleed from other sources.
- Learn the advanced technique of sidechain gating. Trigger a gate from another input on your console. It's a creative tool for achieving rhythmic effects. It can also manage bleed in complex mixes.
- De-essing is a technique to smooth out harsh sibilant frequencies in vocal recordings. Using de-essing makes your tracks more pleasing to the ear.
- Learn about the applications and use cases for dynamic EQ. It's a versatile tool that allows for frequency-specific compression or expansion.
- Learn to compress certain frequencies while leaving others unaffected. This nuanced approach to dynamic control can solve mix issues without compromising your sound's integrity.
