PREVIEW: Mixing - Getting A Big Sound

http://conservatoriumofaudio.com

A preview of the Mixing - Getting A Big Sound tutorial, now available from Ben Rosser's Conservatorium of Audio. In this tutorial we look at many different techniques to help create bigger, deeper and cleaner mixes, including:

- Multiple different EQ techniques to allow you to sit each layer of each sound in it's own part of the frequency spectrum, and removing phasing issues between clashing frequencies.
- Different compression techniques, from using a compressor to control the dynamic range of a sound, to using a compression as a effect to create movement in the mix.
- Extensive use of layering to build up each sound, and group of sounds, and planning ahead with your productions to allow you more choices when it comes time to mix.
- Using parallel processing on sounds to fill more of the frequency spectrum.
- Hints and tips for keeping the mixing session more controllable, including the use of busses and groups for more control over the sound.
- And much more!

I can't remember the exact technique I used in the tutorial as I've spent a few hours on the mix since I did the tutorial. In the end, for the final mix of the track there will be three or four guitars used during most of the track, with some getting pulled out and added back in as the track progresses.

@hypergod3 (depending on the daw you're using) you can go into the vst's settings and click "browse parameters" and it should give you a list of all the knobs you can tweak with automation ;)
