  • whats up with the finger? 0:16

  • @ckarsmusick its a pre-emptive fuck you to those who will post negative comments lol.

  • where are lessons 3-6?

  • @Froasier they were shot but my hard disk crashed before i could get them up. more vids are coming this month however.

  • When you play two of the same track at once surely you get phasing..So you have to cut the frequencies from one as you add them to the other right ? So what is the point apart from compressing different frequencies..?

  • @balderic0 If you duplicate the same track and have the exact same plugin chain there will be no phasing. As long as the two tracks are sample accurate then it works much like an analog mixer. Apple click the level window on the protools mixing strip to the the delay in samples.

  • is multing sending the signal through an aux?

  • He looks like Sid Wilson lol

  • very well explained!!

  • excellent explanation.

  • Excellent tips bro.

  • @mikechav haha.. So would I. I can't find them. Of all the roughs and boots I've lost, I only really miss two. Those files and a bootleg of Stephane Wrembel with Mathias Bubla & Jared Engel doing a crossover experiment where they were playing Django Reinhart tunes with a late 60's jazz sensibility but occasionally Stephane would kick in pedal and echo effects and it sounded like he was harmonizing with himself over Indian Ragas. Describing it somehow doesn't do it justice. It was jaw dropping.

  • @logixish you can do it in logic but you might have phasing issues. Logics mixer often doesn't make sense to me. I like creating in logic but my mixes always come out better in PT
