DVD Mix Tutorial

The Mix Tutorial DVD contains musical exercises to enable you to gain practical mixing skills.

To get set up, all you need to do is plug the supplied loom (RCA to XLR or RCA to TRS) from the DVD player to the audio console, in the following order.

DVD -> CONSOLE

L -> Ch1
R -> Ch2
C -> Ch3
Rear L -> Ch4
Rear R -> Ch5
Sub -> Ch6

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are plugged into mic inputs on your console, ensure you engage the ‘pad’ on each console channel, when plugged into line inputs, the pads are not necessary.

Each chapter is a different musical selection, some are drum kits only, there are full bands, choirs etc. Refer to the insert on your DVD to choose a chapter to work with.

From there onwards, it’s simple, set your gain using the FFF technique and then practice equalisation, dynamics and FX however you wish.

The tracks are deliberately processed on the DVD to not sound pristine, so that you need to eq them to get a good tone, the levels vary as well so that you will need to adjust gains differently to get a good musical balance.
