Interesting mixing lesson

Some good tidbits in there. Feel free to discuss

Throwing instruments further to the edge to make them appear wider at a chorus is a pretty useful trick.

I wish he would have mentioned multi-band panners like the Waves PS-22. They take a mono signal, divide it up by frequency ranges, then go
lows = center
low mids = right
mids = left
high mids = right
highs = left

At the very end he mentions the UAD Roland Dimension D simulator. Similar to the Soundtoys Microshift. I run these on pianos, vocals, bass guitars, and rack/floor toms in parallel. I have one instance strapped to an row of AUX sends on the mixer, and its one of the main go-to’s for width. I like the Eventide H 910 for width as well.

Not sure how much the guys in the seats are actually going to learn simply by being preached at. They should be sat at the board trying this stuff out for themselves, with the guy explaining how to do it.

The whole thing smacks of one of those ‘guru’ talks where everyone afterwards says ‘man that was awesome’ then goes away and does absolutley nothing about it.

They could have learned all of this stuff for themselves if they had simply made a habit of importing reference tracks into their projects and conducting A/B comparisons.

This sounds very interesting.

Looks interesting too! I LOVE this thing on mono-acoustic guitars.
