The objective of this mini-course is to give the viewer a better fundamental understanding of basic mixing concepts and techniques. We will use a project with many tracks (essentially an unmixed song) and begin by discussing gain staging and techniques for establishing a good volume balance between tracks (while maintaining a good amount of headroom on the master channel). From there we will discuss grouping tracks, subtractive EQing, panning, effective ways to control dynamics such as compression, and insert effects versus send effects. By the conclusion of this course the viewer will have a much better understanding of how to properly approach mixing their own music.

Over these 20 videos Nate shares his professional knowhow and in-depth analysis of these vital elements of the frequency spectrum, which if you don’t treat with respect, can ruin and muddy up your mix. We start by looking at the tools we can use to analyse and visualise frequencies that the human ear can’t always pick up, before firstly moving on to the all important kick and how to build and recreate our own kicks that we know will work. We then check out how to correctly process our kicks with EQ and compression and how to eliminate phase issue problems when they arise. Nate then moves onto showing us how to create a punchy bassline and the importance of harmonics, selective EQ, along with compression and expansion techniques to ensure the kick and bass are giving their full potential without clashing. Finally, we look at the proven methods to help our kick and bass sit perfectly in the mix alongside the other elements.
