Great course covering those Mixing fundamentals @phil_johnston. Was a much needed topic and expected course on S.A. Nice to demonstrate the all process only using native DAW plugins and to focus on this “end result” goal mind set using reference tracks. Thank you !
Really recommend this one to all beginners, Phil is showing solid basics techniques that you don’t want to miss when getting serious about music production. Those tools are available in every DAW and applying those techniques as well as getting used to this workflow over time & with some practice will get your Mixes at already 70% done.
Thanks for explaining the fundamental frequency range any filtering above that range takes away the energy of that sounds. You demonstrate it in a simple way to understand. Great Video!!!
Actually it’s all the same whether you gain stage to -6 dB or 0 dB as long as things are otherwise in balance relative to each other. Scaling to required headroom in master does not sacrifice quality in any possible way in the DAW world. For reference, see: DAW Headroom Test - YouTube
Just downloaded the resources .zip file here and after expanding the archive both Mixing Course Clean.als and Mixing Course Mix.als open without issues here ( using Live Suite 10.1.30 ).
Make sure that the archive isn’t corrupted, suggest to get a new & fresh download and to use a different archive manager application.
Hello, for some reason when I open the project files, the ‘Soft Piano’ (‘Pluck Piano Lead’ preset) from ANA 2 does not play at all. It seems it’s due to the 'Lush…Piano_05.wav file used in Osc 4-6 Sampler missing from ANA 2. The message is ANA 2 is ‘File Missing. Click to Relink’. Could you please provide this file for the preset?
In addition to the below about the ANA 2 preset not playing, I’ve just found one of the Main Leads isn’t playing either. It’s the one in track 23 (ANA preset Busted Keys). Same issue as below where the Osc 4-6 Sampler file is missing from ANA 2 - this time 086 Noise.wav.
I’ve downloaded the project and checked this and I’m not sure where from the “Lush Piano-05” sample is TBH.
I’m also missing the audio sample file in ANA 2 for the “Soft Piano” track 26 ( might have been a modified sample used by Phil here ).
For the other one, the “OB6 Noise” for the “Main Lead” in track 23 : the preset “OB6 Busted Keys” and this noise sample are part the expansion presets pack Vol.7 Synthwave, so that’s why it’s missing if you don’t have this expansion pack already installed.
→ @phil_johnston maybe this could be amended in the project file resources ?
