6 Mixing Tips You Can Use Right Away

I just finished up a Custom Mix Tutorial for a client and I thought I'd share some takeaways with you while they're fresh in my mind.

Ready? Here we go!

1. Use transient designers to change the rhythm and feel of a track. If a kick drum is too long, you can shorten it to make the rhythm more exciting and snappy. Conversely, you can lengthen a bass part to fill up the heaviness of a sound so that your foundation doesn't fall apart.

2. Mixing is NOT linear. You don't go from one plug-in to another down the signal chain. You add plug-ins where they need to go in the signal depending on how the track is reacting to the rest of the music. If that's one more EQ at the end or a compressor at the beginning, so be it.

3. Something that sounds narrow and mid-range-y can sound odd in solo but perfect when you add the rest of the low end to the mix.

4. More compression is fine. In fact, you're probably not adding enough because you're scared of it. Stop listening to conservative advice and start pushing the limits of what your plug-ins can do.

5. A little bit of saturation all over the place adds more character and warmth to your mix than cranking up the saturation only on your mix bus.

6. When in doubt, use parallel processing. Parallel processing will make your mix sound more professional.

IF YOU'RE A MUSIC LEADER OR DIRECTOR THIS IS FOR YOU

For Music Leaders and directors, It is your responsibility to train your singers by applying measures that will help boost their confidence.

If your choir or singers have challenges at projecting their voice, coming at a song with the right energy, modulating effectively, the challenge often times is that their confidence is low.

Check if you're breaking their confidence. For example, when a singer in your team hits a wrong note, how you handle that can bring down the confidence of the person or boost it.

Be careful that your style of leadership is not breaking down or bringing down the confidence of your team because without their confidence being in place they will never be able to sound "as one" with the right charisma and energy.

WAYS TO HELP BOOST A SINGER'S CONFIDENCE:

1. Never say i cant hit that note but you can say I haven't been able to hit it yet. I'll try again.

2. Always watch clips of singers watching how they perform on stage. Pay attention to their confidence and how they manage changes on stage.

3. Practice your confidence before a mirror and rehearse what you'd say concerning different situations on stage while singing.

4. Never tell a singer in your team, you cannot hit that note or you cannot sing this part.

5. Organise healthy singing competitions within your team by giving your singers songs to score and deliver.

6. Give your choir a minimum of 30mins in vocal exercises during rehearsals.

7. Be nice and warm to your singers yet drive them to be better by showing them what they can do, and not what they cannot do.

Dear Singer, Value your CONFIDENCE over the note... however keep learning, rehearsing and singing.
