Every mixer has his own audio toolbox full of secret weapons! Join Rich Tozzoli who has worked with Al DiMeola, Ace Frehley, Hall & Oates, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and Billy Squier as he opens his Mixing Toolbox and reveals some of his favorite Pro Tools mixing tips...

Rich T is back! And on the reverb tail of his successful Producing and Mixing Guitars tutorial in our Studio and Recording section he now has created his Pro Tools Mixing Toolbox! In this collection of 41 tutorial-videos Rich expands his mixing universe to include all the different kinds of tracks that most engineers need to work on while mixing a tune.

So put on your work gloves because this is a hands-on tutorial. No theoretical posturing here. Just plain old show, tell and listen! Richie T starts with the vocals and explains the Apex of the Triangle technique. He shows you how to De-ess, compress, add delay and reverb and so much more to get your vocals sounding great. Next up: drums. Rich digs deep into his drum toolbox and pulls out all kinds of cool audio tools to tune your drum tracks to perfection. He even shows you how he uses a tape simulator on a bus to get that tape-saturated, fat sound. He then explains why he adds different types of EQ and compression to different drums as we listen to the drums come to life. There’s even a cool video on getting the best sound out of drum loops!

From there, Rich explores the bass track where we listen to the DI and then combines them with amp simulators. Finally Rich settles into the master fader and talks about metering, EQing and limiting. But that’s not all: there’s even a bonus section where he shows how he uses his favorite plugins!

So join Rich Tozzoli and put some of his audio tools inside your Mixing Toolbox!
