Course Highlights
Get the Right Vocal Tone: 4-Step Method
Learn to approach your vocal mixing systematically with a complete vocal chain: from creating vocal continuity through proper clip gaining; to removing sibilance, low-end rumble and resonances; to creating warmth and weight, to adding presence and attitude – all without over-EQ’ing or over-compressing.
Wide Guitars. Punchy Rhythm Section.
Learn how to mix your instruments to work together, with the full song arrangement in mind. Learn kick and bass techniques; how to handle natural tones and overtones; how to shape a clear bass without mud; and how to treat layered guitars for a fuller, wider mix.
Finalizing Your Mix for Streaming
Learn to build a rock-oriented mix bus chain, with focus on bus compression and tape emulation. Plus make sure your overall levels meet the exact standards of streaming platforms, so you can have better control over the end result that gets streamed online.
