“Mixing a Rock Song in Pro Tools” – become a pro at mixing rock.Original description
Watch professional mixer Brian Lee White take a rock song from the raw recorded tracks to a great-sounding, polished mix in Avid Pro Tools. The course moves at a quick pace, showing how to establish a workflow for a particular song and make mixing decisions on the fly. Watch as Brian quickly sets initial levels, sculpts the individual tracks with EQ and compression, uses spatial and special effects to create depth and interest, balances the lead vocal and rhythm section, and adds the finishing touches before bouncing down the mix. Brian also stresses the importance of “thinking like a mixer” by being creative and serving the song, exploring ideas that inspire you, and breaking away from the template mindset. [collapse]
