Future Media Academy Advanced Mixing Techniques with Re:Set [TUTORiAL]

Congratulations! You've assembled your sounds nicely and your track is almost complete. Now... What's next? The MIXING! Explained by Re:Set/Artificial Behavior.

Fran aka Re:Set is a music producer, sound engineer and sound designer at Hypertone Studio based in Berlin. His projects Re:Set, Artificial Behavior, Mud and Nocturnalism.

We are pleased to host Re:Set's 3 hour mixing lesson and a Q&A of a well-produced Dark Prog track from a student of Francesco.

During the webinar Francesco will show different strategies, techniques and the philosophy behind a powerful, emotional and ready-to-use sound mixing in the post-production of a track.

Theoretical and practical aspects of the mixing process

• Studio Acoustics (Room correction)
• Monitoring (Speaker placement, Headphones correction & mistakes)
• 5 Steps for a better Production (..and mixing)
• Musical Brain
• Function (and goals)
• Turning your weakness into strength
• Preparation of the mixing process and headspace (how to be simple and effective!)
• Drum Tuning and Sample replacement
• Rhythm and Frequency content (Analysis)
• Eq (Separation between sounds - when and why - dealing with mud and resonances)
• Contrast (Sparse to Dense and Bright to Dark)
• Stereo Placement / Space vs Frequencies (Mono vs Stereo - Panning)
• The importance of the Mono signal (how to achieve a wider mix)
• Compression and Motion (Philosophy & Most common mistakes)
• Transient Shaping (Transients vs Body)
• Multiband Processing (Dynamics and Saturation)
• Clipper vs Limiter (difference, when and why)
• Analog Emulations (Color, Harmonic Distortion)
• Reflectivity (Far to Near)
• FXs (Why the effect is [often] more important than the sound itself)
• Automations (To create/enhance contrast and emotion)
• M/S mixing techniques
• Perceived loudness tips & tricks
• Phase Coherency (learn to read the Oscilloscope)
• Referencing other Mixes (Ego, mixing notes)
• Finishing your Mix... and learn to say goodbye!
