If your unsure of which knobs control what refer to your user manual and listen carefully as you adjust the knob in question for its lowest point to its highest point. As you talk into the mic and listen to how your vocals sound adjust the settings accordingly to produce the desired vocal sound. To set the values correctly use your headphones as a monitor for the vocals. Many mixers have knobs for tweaking the hi, lo, and mid, of the vocals as they are being recorded as well as effects such as plates, chorus, flange, or delay effects. Using the software correctly and setting the knobs on your mixer to the correct values before recording is also an important thing to remember. I complete the process using Cool Edit Pro 2.0 and I have a Alesis Multimix 8 USB and a MXL 2003 condenser mic for recording, you can check out some of my newest tracks in my profile or at /willkillsmusic, feel free to send a friend request if youd like. The mixing technique I use refers to mixing vocal tracks with instrumental tracks and prepare the vocal tracks for the mix. With that being said the following steps will help you to produce a high quality mix without all the high priced equipment. It is important when mixing a track to give yourself time away from the music to rest your ears and tune out of the song. It can never be done in one sitting or day for that matter maybe even one week. DjSicAzAids : Tue 8th Jan 2008 : 14 years agoĬreating the perfect mix takes time.
