Mixing in the 60s used to mean “a little bit of EQ and compression.” Nowadays, it’s a whole different monster. In Mixing, Simplified, we’ll take a step back in time and discover what’s truly necessary for a great mix, and what isn’t. Stay tuned for more segments coming soon!

FLS20 Mixing & Mastering Vocals

FANTASTiC | 07 October 2022 | 219 MB

The most crucial aspect of a song is the vocals. Your music will always sound amateur if you don’t nail it. Knowing how to mix vocals can elevate your overall quality much beyond the novice level. It doesn’t matter if you recorded your song in a professional studio with loads of costly gear or in your bedroom – your mix must sound professional. Nothing is more important than vocals. It also makes no difference if you’re talking about music, movies, television, or podcasting…everyone’s attention is drawn to the human voice. You don’t have to be a musician to detect poorly blended vocals. They’re discordant, unpleasant, and make you want to rip your ears out. And it may be upsetting if these discordant vocals are still audible after you’ve mixed vocals into your music.

Mixing Metal & Orchestra

HiDERA | 3 June 2022 | 1.84 GB

Hello URM members, I’m Jacob Hansen, a producer and mix engineer from Denmark. You may be familiar with my work with bands such as Epica, Amaranthe, The Black Dahlia Murder, Volbeat, and Fleshgod Apocalypse. In this Fast Track I’ll be going over my approach to mixing orchestration in the context of metal. The key to this approach is in two simple things: starting with the right arrangement, and preserving as much of the orchestration’s sonic character as possible (rather than aggressively high passing it as many people do). Orchestral parts can add a lot of dynamics, character and interest to metal songs, but because most of us are unfamiliar with how to approach them, they often end up treated as an afterthought in the mix. I hope to change that with this Fast Track: by the time you are finished with it, you’ll have a comprehensive skillset for mixing all the typical components of orchestration in metal.
