Tutorial on mixing technique/using effects.

[Orchestral_Design]

Hey guys, Being that Im a recording arts major and part of the audio engineering society, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in watching me do a livestream about how to use EQ, compression, and panning. The reason I ask is that if I get enough responses (meaning about 10 or so) I'll schedule a time to do a 1 hour tutorial on mixing house/trance music, as well as orchestral music and impart the knowledge I have so you all can get better sounding mixes. Also, tell me if you want me to cover anything else (using reverb for example) in the comments. So its up to you guys if you want me to impart some Audio Engineer Knowledge from someone whose had real world experience in the industry.





One last thing, I know some of you are incredibly talented in mixing, Im not bashing how your mix sounds I just want to share my knowledge, thats all.

I'd love that! Mixing is something I totally suck at, with a VENGEANCE. Don't host it this thursday, though, Bill Nye is coming to my school to talk about science.

I'm certainly interested!

[Applejinx]

It sounds interesting! I can't pretend to have industry experience in mixing but I run the plugin company 'Airwindows' (mac audio units for Logic, GarageBand etc)
I don't feel comfortable revealing that in ALL fandoms I'm in, but I feel a little bit safer 'crossing the streams' among bronies. Anyway, any of my brony plugin users would already have spotted me for Applejack, they tell me to slow down and quit workin' now and then
If this search works, it'll point to some of the Gearslutz threads that have to do with my work- drat, it died- search on 'airwindows' in the title of threads at http://www.gearslutz.com
I would love to help you any way I can, and would also love to see how you use effects- mostly I just make and sell 'em, it's for others to get good at USIN' em

[Versilaryan]

That would be amazing! Learning from someone who's actually been taught how to do this would be awesome!

[Tarby]

YES. LOTS OF YES.

[Overkillius]

I would love lessons. DOEET

Would the tutorial cover pitch shifting to some degree? I'd watch it even if it didn't, I'm just wondering.

[Orchestral_Design]

If you mean pitch shifting like melodyne or auto tune, then no. I've used them before in studio work, but I don't own a copy for my home computer.

[Applejinx]

What do you need to know? Outside of the real tutorial that is? I don't own it either but it sounds like either OD or me could answer questions I don't want to step on Orchestral_Design's hooves at all, it's just really really really hard for me not to try ta be helpful XD

[Ferrarity]

Nothing in particular. The only experience I've really had with pitch shifting has been Cubase's integrated module, and I haven't even used that one much.

I'm def watching this when it comes out!

[Sugarholik]

I'm beyond the pond so time is not on my side, but I'd love to see this. Please, do it!

[Andy Feelin]

I do need this tutorial course my mixing skills really suck for the moment

[bartekko]

<insert random letters so This topic has another post and orchestral design has the motivation to do a livestream (or simply a yt video) and we all can c and learn something>

[Orchestral_Design]

Well it looks like ill be doing a Livestream! The issue now is what time. Im thinking doing it on a saturday afternoon around 4pm/7pm Eastern, Unless any of you are listening to the synchtube of the remix war. Id like to do it on the weekend though.

[Andy Feelin]

Couldn't it be recorded as well? 7pm EST equals 1am Central European and 3am Moscow time, so it's not likely that Mike, Bartek and me will be glad to sacrifice the sleep at night, but if they two agree, I will not mind as well.
This is going to start just after the Remix War, I guess.

[Orchestral_Design]

Yes its recorded so you can play it whenever you like, the only thing different is that when Im live, music bronies that are tuned in can ask me questions in the chat and ill answer them as best I can.

[TheSunAndTheRainfall]

Oh yes please! I can't promise I'll be able to watch it live, but I'd be very thankful to see anything you wish to share with us.

[Sugarholik]

I'm fine with 7pm (2 am here). It's not a big deal especially with a bucket of coffee ^^ It's up to you Andy and Bartek.

[bartekko]

My parents won't bug me on saturday and sunday so I guess I can stay till morning

[Andy Feelin]

Fine, I'm with you!
It won't be a great deal to spend several extra hours after the Remix War synctube!

[bartekko]

And Then we all watch Discord (whoever he is)

[Ferrarity]

Not to be pressing, but you weren't planning on airing it this Saturday, were you?

Because I'm gonna be absolutely swamped then (university move-in day!), but after that I should be fine.

[bartekko]

He was Planning on airing this on saturday, wasn't he?

[Orchestral_Design]

He was Planning on airing this on saturday, wasn't he?

Yes, I was going to go live on sat at 3pm pacific. I can do it earlier since most of you will be up already because
MLP season 2 is airing. I could do it at 12pm/ 3 pm Eastern If that helps.

But seriously Start networking! get on Skype Or Facebook Or Ponychan I don't care, but spread the word.

I dont want like, 5 people in the livestream chat lol

[Ferrarity]

Ah, fair enough. Hey, maybe if everything goes smoothly I could still make it at 7pm.
