Class Outline
1 - Lots of Microphone & Phase Issues
This is a deeper exploration of the fundamentals class’ microphones and phase probs.This is a deeper exploration of the fundamentals class’ microphones and phase probs. We will examine some Re-amped guitar through MANY near and far field mics. Mid/Side Techniques, Stereo as M/S vs. L/R.
2 - Deep Equalization
So Many Options! Different types of Equalizers, How to recognize masking, bring down the parts that suck, and bring up the overall volume… vs. Boosting too much of what you want more of. IE: Understanding Subtractive EQ. Balancing similar sounding parts of your Mix!
3 - Getting the most from Dynamics Processing
Side Chains, both internal and external, Multi vs. Single vs. Full Band Compression, De-essers, Understanding using Compressors as a GROOVE tool, not just levelers or clip reductions. Balancing these ideas with the distortion they invariably introduce.
4 - Analog vs. Digital, Distortion Types, Conversion Probs
Understanding the CREATIVE use of distortion! 2nd Order vs 3rd Order Harmonics. Understanding the CREATIVE use of distortion! 2nd Order vs 3rd Order Harmonics. Problems with Aliasing off the roof of your Nyquist frequency, & Oversampling In Digital: Distortion / Quantization Error / When to Dither / PCM vs. 1 Bit encoding.
5 - Deeper Routing & Mixing Tips
Routing Signal with BUSSES vs AUXES, Wet / Dry FX Mixing, Routing Signal with BUSSES vs AUXES, Wet / Dry FX Mixing, Proper SPL and mixing levels- Danger to our ears, & are easily fooled by volume changes! FX tricks and tips – Reverb, Delay & Finally: Recognizing problems in Mixing.
