how do i mix my sounds to sound good help plz

[AlmostTechnicolor]

@kingsir101 That's not a question that can be answered simply. There's hundreds of variables, exceptions and factors to consider when mixing your music and it takes time, dedication and practice to get better. I will be doing a lesson on mixing your music though, but not until unit 2 so it'll be a while. Hopefully I'll have time to do more than just a video a week and I can get there sooner :)

ive got a problem i cant hear any music unless im i the sample demo wat can i do to get audio by the way i picked an instrument

[AlmostTechnicolor]

@thedanceman12 It might be that your instrument isn't connected to the mixer. Connect it either by routing it yourself by pressing "tab" and connecting it to the mixer, or right click on the instrument and pressing "auto-route device"

I had to log in and subscribe because just viewing the video has made that program actually usable now. I look ahead to seeing more to come !!!

[AlmostTechnicolor]

@thebesttheyheard All that praise from just the first lesson? Golly, thanks :) I'll be releasing lesson 2 either tonight or tomorrow, stay tuned!

[claudejpb]

Thanks for the video Erin. You just saved me $800.00. That's what the local studio charges for a 30 hour course on Reason.

[swhite1702]

I don't have a keyboard, can I still make melodies like where you do it in the video?

@Killian19931 i found it easier to use edit song and draw in the notes, then you can due chords easily...if you know them
