Week 5 - Practical  Reply with quote  

NO questions this week.

Fun Time!

Practical Assignment

24 track mixdown...

You will find 24 tracks of audio here: http://www.audiocourses.com/part3/week5

Download them and unzip them to a folder.

All files are equal in length and of the same format, if you place each one up to the left locator in your software each one will be synchronised with their partners.

The tracks represent the individual tracks of a 24 track recording taken from a recording studio. These are the raw files with zero editing and processing.

The objective is to create a mix that is suitable for releasing.

However, let's leave the mastering for the next week. This week I am only concerned with how you mix the tracks and process them.

There is 330MB here, so go get a coffee while they download.

Post your questions in this thread... I'm hoping this will create a lot of dialogue.

As there are so many skills and technique that this will highlight for discussion.

Have fun!

P.S. Anyone without broadband go for zip 11 (rhodes patch) and zip 17 (vocals) you could then use your own software and resources to create a mix (drum loops etc).

Hi,

it might just be me, but are tracks 6, 15, 18 and 24 blank. They have no waveforms in cubase, i even tried listening to them in winamp and get nothing.

just thought i'd ask before downloading them again.

Its not just you, you are correct.

They were blank on the tape machine and we just copied all tracks off.

Very Happy

Chris, when you say process the tracks, do you mean adding effects to them Question

Hi apologies for the delay in replying.

Processing means changing the sound in any way, although I do recall compression in places.

Maybe you have heard it?
