Week 5 - No Questions  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).

If it were me I'd put it in my own folder and name it with an obvious label.

Hi everybody! I just posted my mix...

I tried to open up the song...make it groove and breath. I was experimenting a lot...hehe. It was really fun. I have thousands of questions after this. Starting to hear things I never heard before...

I realised how sensible everything is...and I am really happy to a least understand most of the the faders and parameters on the effects plugins now...
One (of many ) problems I have is that I cant get the bass sound transparent at 1:33 when the song changes...seems like I get some phase problems or something or maybe it is clashing with some other instruments there...

Does anybody have an idea? Is it that the bass changes to different notes there or what?

Cheers!

P.s My pentium 3.2 went on its knees during the mix...maybe I am using to much 8O !?
