Stephen Kelly of UnderstandingAudio.com) | Mix Better Now Here's a description from Stephen: "I want you to think about how you start your mixes. No, I’m not talking about setting up your session, editing, phase alignment or other mix prep activities. While I know they’re the most exciting part of mixing for you (I joke), I want you to think about what you do after that point. If you start playing with plugins, then I’d highly suggest you get your faders and pan pots balanced first. Otherwise, you’re fighting a losing battle against time and efficiency from the start. If you’re already experienced at setting up a good fader mix, then I’ve something to share with you that comes before you even touch the faders in your session. What am I talking about? Referencing. The most underused way to advance your mixing and get your mixes finished quicker. In this video I’m going to show you the why and how of reference tracks. More importantly, I’m going to show you how most people misuse them or don’t use them to their full potential. You’ll be surprised when you realise you might be doing the same. Check it out and leave me lots of comments and questions. I’ll happily answer them and help you out.
