- Using both software and hardware for mixing.
Many of the best professional mixing engineers work in a hybrid manner using both hardware and software.
For this course, we take that exact approach and mix a track using both software and some select hardware from our dedicated electronic dance music studios (Altar Studios). Follow a professional with 30 years experience, in the field of electronic dance music, as he mixes a track from a professional artist.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how a professional mix engineer approaches a mix, from the very beginning of listening to the track, to balancing the channels, removing resonances and working with transients, through to adjusting dynamics and applying EQ, processing and effects.
You’ll have the opportunity to hear a track that was mixed entirely in software. Then slowly that same track transforms into a more professional sound as we introduce some of the most respected hardware in the industry, that is used in Altar Studios, from SPL, Elysia, SSL, Neve and Chandler.
Alongside learning how to mix a record to a professional standard, you can experience the real differences between a plugin and its analogue counterpart. This will help you learn to recognise the difference between the hardware and software versions as you gain experience in production and mixing.
