-Taking control of your tracks with effects processors, like EQ, compression, reverb, delay, etc.

-Finding the perfect balance of instruments, vocals, and effects

-The secrets to mixes that translate to all sound systems

-Techniques and interaction when working with a producer

-Mix drums, bass, guitars, loops, leads, backgrounds, and more!

why dont you just make 10 louder?!

[rutgersfan14]

will these plugins work in fl studio?

[Weever1214]

@datboiwrek Yea inserts are prefader in protools but inserts work in the order that you place them. This guy is saying to place a trim plugin before all your other plugins, so that they react to a healthy signal (not too hot--not too low). Hope that helps

It seems to me that this session on the DVD its been mixed before, i have the DVD and i can hear the difference to the tracks on my computer and to the sound of the tracks on the video, maybe because the video is been mastered or something.

This DVD are great, find out that i was on the right track and this just solidified my ideas and give me more creative aproches, had a lot fun watching. Jhon M. looks like he can be a cartoon character:)

Also, put a high pass filter on and move up just a little until you get some of the rumble gone.
