RTA 311 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Stem Mixing And Mastering, Reverberation
Document Summary
Match the phase with the overhead mics: make sure same distance between each overhead and snare drum, use an xlr/string to measure the same distance, master image is overheads and reinforce deficiency with spot mics. If troubles lining up, can invert waveform to line up wave form: trim plugin, invert. Anything below a certain point will be pushed down. Can do this to eliminate mic bleed. New audio track with tone plugin: low tone. Select key input on expander: hook up to bus 1. Send it up to bus 1, that is linked to kick. Mix the 2 tracks and get a cool sound. Not usually fast enough (with attack) to hit the intial sharp transient and gets the second half of transient. Put huge reverb on a snare bottom. Expander plugin: send key to bus 2. Compress 1 signal and leave the other uncompressed. Squash the hell out of one and the pop it into the mix: bf 76!
