Matthew Weiss 12/11/12 12:40 PM,This article is provided by the Pro Audio Files. This topic is an “eat your vegetables” one. Maybe not as fun as how to mix flangers and phasers to create alien noises, but I feel it’s an important topic for any professional or aspiring professional. At some point in your career you’ll be expected to mix a record very fast. In all likelihood this will in fact become somewhat of a common occurrence. So here are some tips to… View this story

Dan Laveglia 12/02/12 03:37 PM,For a long time I wondered about mixing monitor wedges in stereo. I was sure it would sound good, so a while back I took the plunge and set up a pair of loudspeakers to see what it was all about. For about a week I tried different things to see what I could find out. During afternoons on show days, I listened to various instruments and vocal mics. In many ways the sound was better than listening in mono,… View this story

Bobby Owsinski 11/26/12 12:45 PM,This article is provided by Bobby Owsinski. One of the tougher things to decide when your doing a project is when the mix is finished. If you have a deadline, the decision is quickly made for you, but if you have a deep pocket budget or unlimited time, a mix can drag on forever. So when is a mix considered finished? Here are some guidelines, courtesy of The Mixing Engineer’s Handbook: 1) The groove of the song is solid.… View this story

Chris Huff 11/09/12 03:39 PM,This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. I was going to be an architect. I attended every drafting class my high school offered. While my career choice changed, I learned the number one way for drafting the perfect home: having a vision. Looking back on the homes I drew in my middle school drafting class, I can’t help but be embarrassed. Middle school tech class wasn’t about the best way to draft a home floor plan, it was… View this story

Chris Huff 10/31/12 11:16 AM,This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. Let’s talk about risky business. Felix Baumgartner recently jumped out of a capsule at 120,000 feet above the earth. I played “Lost in Love” by Air Supply on the jukebox at the local bowling alley. Which was riskier? I’m not sure. There I was, standing in the pit at the bowling alley. I knew “Lost in Love” would come up next. My friend Dave began throwing his bowling ball down the… View this story

Karl Winkler 10/23/12 05:04 PM,In a previous column, I covered three “styles” of live mixing—reinforcement, reproduction and production—and how they apply to your goals as a mixer and the requirements of the gig. Now I’d like to delve further into some techniques behind achieving the best results for the first two styles, in order for your mix to be as transparent as possible. Generally, this would be most useful for acoustic music, and even perhaps for reinforcing a single speaking voice such as in… View this story

Joe Gilder 10/15/12 10:15 AM,I’m finishing up a mix this week for a client from Russia. Great song…and it’s not everyday I get to listen to a guy singing in Russian for a few hours. (I think I might be starting to understand it…nah, probably not.) Anyhow… Here’s a quick mixing tip that will help you in two ways: 1. You’ll quickly improve your mixes. 2. Your mixes won’t take FOREVER to finish. What is it? It’s something I’m calling the “Power of Three.”… View this story

Chris Huff 10/04/12 06:29 PM,This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. Does your mix suffer from these four common mix maladies? If it does, that’s OK because there is a remedy for each one. The next worship service could be your best sounding mix. There are different mixes a sound tech must create depending on the congregational preferences and pastoral requirements. Using an example with a very wide mix difference, a mix for a “hip” youth group will be much different than… View this story

Mike Sessler 09/27/12 05:58 PM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. There I was, on Christmas Eve Eve, listening to the rehearsal tracks for our Christmas Eve service, tweaking the mix and thinking, “Hmmm. Something is missing.” In fact, it wasn’t that something was missing; it was a big band, with 11 vocals. If anything was missing, it was space. With all those instruments and vocals packed in there, the mix was sounding a bit dense. Whenever I get that many vocals on stage,… View this story
