Mixing and music production: advanced

- Apply the technique of Parallel Compression to thicken instruments individually and in groups
- Use sidechaining and gating techniques to allow selected instruments to stand out in a mix
- Apply stereo imaging techniques to create contrast between instruments
- Apply effects on a finished mix to make it suitable for playback on different playback systems and media formats
- Apply acoustic treatment to your workspace to minimise acoustic coloration to make more effective judgments when mixing.

Notepad, pen, own memory stick/storage device for saving work.

Classes will generally begin with a demonstration and discussion followed by practical work.
You will work on an individual Mac workstation to practise set themes, techniques and skills, applying these to your developing ideas and material.
You will present your work in progress regularly to the group, and receive feedback, support and encouragement from your tutor throughout the course.
