Future Media Academy Advanced Mixing Techniques with Re:Set TUTORIAL

Congratulations! You’ve assembled your sounds nicely and your track is almost complete. Now… What’s next? The MIXING! Explained by Re:Set/Artificial Behavior.

Fran aka Re:Set is a music producer, sound engineer and sound designer at Hypertone Studio based in Berlin. His projects Re:Set, Artificial Behavior, Mud and Nocturnalism.

We are pleased to host Re:Set’s 3 hour mixing lesson and a Q&A of a well-produced Dark Prog track from a student of Francesco.

During the webinar Francesco will show different strategies, techniques and the philosophy behind a powerful, emotional and ready-to-use sound mixing in the post-production of a track.

Theoretical and practical aspects of the mixing process

Studio Acoustics (Room correction)
Monitoring (Speaker placement, Headphones correction & mistakes)
5 Steps for a better Production (..and mixing)
Musical Brain
Function (and goals)
Turning your weakness into strength
Preparation of the mixing process and headspace (how to be simple and effective!)
Drum Tuning and Sample replacement
Rhythm and Frequency content (Analysis)
Eq (Separation between sounds — when and why — dealing with mud and resonances)
Contrast (Sparse to Dense and Bright to Dark)
Stereo Placement / Space vs Frequencies (Mono vs Stereo — Panning)
The importance of the Mono signal (how to achieve a wider mix)
Compression and Motion (Philosophy & Most common mistakes)
Transient Shaping (Transients vs Body)
Multiband Processing (Dynamics and Saturation)
Clipper vs Limiter (difference, when and why)
Analog Emulations (Color, Harmonic Distortion)
Reflectivity (Far to Near)
FXs (Why the effect is [often] more important than the sound itself)
Automations (To create/enhance contrast and emotion)
M/S mixing techniques
Perceived loudness tips & tricks
Phase Coherency (learn to read the Oscilloscope)
Referencing other Mixes (Ego, mixing notes)
Finishing your Mix… and learn to say goodbye!
