When you’re first starting out mixing, you’re main goal is to mix everything at a decent…

After years of planning a complete renovation of its sanctuary, including an upgrade to its A/V technologies, St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Oxnard, CA suffered a devastating setback one week before its completion. A fire ruined everything inside the sanctuary. No one was hurt, but the fire was a demoralizing setback of several months. Sound Casework designed and installed St. Paul’s new A/V system, and the company was quick to install – and reinstall – the system, which incorporates…

This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. A while ago I mentioned using modulation effects to help create movement within a mix. In this article I’ll explain the different types of modulation effects that we have available for mixing.

All of these effects are built around a low-frequency oscillator, more…
