ProducerTech Pro Mixing Masterclass TUTORIAL
The mixing process is a hugely important final stage of producing a track and is necessary to add the professional touches that make your music sound sweet! In this compact masterclass, producer Jafunk concisely delivers all the techniques required to transform a mix, as he works through the sounds in his popular track ‘Fool For You’.
Starting with the drums, Jafunk looks at all the individual processing like bass enhancement, saturation and EQ, as well as delay for adding width, before moving onto send effects and bus compression. He then works his way through the melodic sounds, beginning with bass and synths then moving onto guitar and FX, again focussing on level balancing, frequency shaping and stereo imaging.
Although a few 3rd party plugins are incorporated in places, the majority of techniques are carried out with DAW (Ableton Live) factory devices and can be easily transferred over to other DAWs.
Signing up to this masterclass provides instant access to over an hour of streamed tutorials, as well as a delicious pack of bonus Funk samples from Loopmasters. Check out the sample module for an example of Jafunk’s clear and concise teaching approach, as he imparts the essential mixing tips needed to make your mixes sound professional.
