Tech Tips Volume 105

View Course

This week, we welcome back mixing and mastering engineer Larry Holcombe for a new set of Tech Tips to help get your tracks into a 3D space.

By using these techniques, we can separate elements of our track to be either further back or more upfront, while owning their own space in the frequency spectrum. This helps with clarity, making them sound more professional and pleasing to the ear, and ultimately helps your tracks ‘breathe’.

You’re in safe hands here with some professional tips and tricks that you can transfer to any DAW, so check it out!

Hi Larry. I don’t understand in the gain-staging video why you are showing us for the kick and snare to reach -6dB and then when you’ve set it up properly you are turning it down to -inf and then start again with gain-staging but this time you are hitting ~-14dB. For what reason did you do this -6dB in the first place?

Thanks Paddy.
