Mixing 101

Explore mixing and mastering from day one. Get hands-on guidance on set up, EQ basics, frequency distribution across the spectrum, and creating depth and balance.

Explore how compression shapes dynamic range by tuning threshold, ratio, attack, and release, and learn to use mono and stereo, panning, and depth cues like eq and reverb.

Explore practical compression techniques in mixing: set threshold and ratio, shape attack and release, apply makeup gain, and use stereo width, panning, and automation to add movement and glue.

Master bass mixing with dynamic-range control using multi-stage and parallel compression, side-chain ducking, and noise gates, then tune kicks and build presence and sub bass with crossovers.

Explore reverb tricks and drum tightening, tune kicks, and apply parallel compression and bus compression to craft clearer, more musical mixes.

Explore how imaging and delay craft space in a mix, using mono to stereo transitions, mid-side processing, and timed delays with reverb to create dynamic, cinematic soundscapes.

Develop a practical vocal production and mixing workflow by leveling, compressing, de-essing, and EQing vocals, grouping tracks with VCAs, and adding subtle reverb and delay.

Master the art of mixing in an eight-week course, covering vocal sessions, eq, compression, and a pathway to mastering. Enjoy lifetime video access and ongoing group feedback.
