Mixing Rock Guitar – Big Wide Guitar Effect

admin — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 16:12:59 +0000

A trick I learned from Linkin Park live engineer Ken Pooch Van Druten, on how to get a wide rock guitar using the doubled effect, without double tracking the guitar. I use the Waves Doubler plugin in send/return mode to acheive the result. I show which settings to use and as usual – include an audio demonstration with before and after. This is a good way to get big sounding choruses when mixing rock guitars.

Mixing Drums – Fat Snare

admin — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 16:05:48 +0000

In this video tutorial I made for Waves I show how to add weight to a snare in a mix. I demonstrate a trick I learned from engineer Ross Hogarth – down pitch shifting a snare, adding reverb to it, then blending that in with the original. The result is a fatter, heavier snare. This mixing trick can be used in hip hop music, rock and more.

Sidechain Compression aka ‘Ducking’

In this video I explain what is sidechain compression, otherwise known as ducking. I discuss when to use the ducking effect in mixing and why, how to set it up in pro tools or logic, and explain which settings to use in your compressor. In this example I use Waves C1 plugin, and have my kick and snare drums trigger the compressor to duck my keyboard pad. Sidechain compression is a good way to add impact to your kick and snare drums.

Reverse Reverb Trick

A quick and easy trick on how to use a reverse reverb to add a subtle whoosh effect to a mix. I use a reverb plugin from Waves to acheive this effect, and show to set up the reverb and line it up with the element from which we generate the reverse reverb effect

Intro to Mixing Drums

In this tutorial I walk through the basic of mixing a live drum kit. I use an example to show how to balance the levels of the drum kit. I then show how to EQ individual drum tracks including kick, snare and overheads. I walk through basic drum compression techniques, then show parallel compression for the drum buss. After that we use reverb on the snare to give it some tail and impact

Intro to Reverb and Delay

admin — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 15:53:14 +0000

A video introduction to two of the most common effects in mixing music – reverb and delay. In this tutorial I walk through what is reverb, what’s a delay, how to use each of them on vocals, drums and other instruments in a mix. I introduce the different types of reverbs, how to set it up in a session, and it’s main paramaters – size, decay, predelay and reverb eq, while providing audio examples. I also introduce delay effects, using the Waves Supertap and H-Delay, and showcase how to set up it’s main settings – time, feedback, modulation and eq, and how to sync a delay to your song. I show how to use a stereo delay to achieve a wide vocal effect.
Here is part two of the tutorial video:
