Lynda Advanced EDM Mixing Principles [TUTORiAL]

While genre does not affect many mixing techniques, EDM (electronic dance music) has unique challenges. Artists want their songs to sound loud, wide, and heavy, without suppressing their unique texture or competing with the underlying rhythm. In this course, Colin Fisher teaches advanced mixing techniques specifically suited to the EDM environment. He'll touch on loudness and dynamics, headroom and gain, and processing with compression, limiting, and clipping, as well as show how to manipulate stereo and frequency placement like the pros do. The end result is a fat, wide, and full sound that will help your tracks break through.

Topics include:

Using dynamics to create power
Balancing a mix
Avoiding ear fatigue
Improving consistency with gain
Working with compression, limiting, and clipping
Using subgroups
Understanding stereo and frequency placement
Tricks for achieving stereo width
