(The) Art of Audio Recording The Mix Product Image

Mixing is a complicated “mix” of art and science. In this Singing Canary tutorial, follow top engineer Clint Murphy as he takes you on a 60-video, step by step mixing journey...

How do you get a complicated song, with tons of drums, guitar, keyboard and vocal tracks to really shine and stand out when reduced to a stereo pair? Well, it’s not easy. In fact, it’s one of the most critical and complicated steps of the whole precording process. And that’s what makes this 60-video tutorial so unique! You’ll sit alongside Modern World Studio’s mixing ninja Clint Murphy as he teaches you everything he knows about the art of mixing.

This is not one of those overview tutorials: It's an in-depth treatise—nothing is glossed over or left out. From setting up the console to exporting your final stereo bounce, this tutorial shows you every step of the way. So break out your notebooks because this hands-on, down-and-dirty, in the trenches mixing adventure is loaded with tons of mixing techniques and audio tips.

You know, it’s not every day that a world class engineer lets you in on all his mixing secrets. So sit back, put your feet up (not on the console, please) put on your headphones and get ready to learn about the art and science of The Mix!

The Mix

This was an outstanding video and even though it uses Pro Tools the principles are applicable to any situation. It goes through the entire process step-by-step and includes tips and very valuable information along the way. Some parts are a bit tedious, but, so is mastering sometimes. Very high quality on the iPad and laptop that I use. Plus, it turned me on to an artist I hadn't heard! Highly recommended.

One of the few video tutorials about mixing and probably the only one which teaches you all the mixing session step by step. I was very annoyed to read books which actually explained everything else rather than how to mix a song.

Great in-depth video, and helped me a lot, because mixing in the console and in a hybrid way is much more severe topic than in the box mixin. It was useful to me because I will have a mixing session on an old MCI analog console, and the hybrid way I'm gonna take. I haven't got any issues with hearing the subtle differences. Great console anyway.. I love the SSL sound!

This is a great tutorial. I love that is was done on an SSL board because it helped me understand so much more about how to use the SSL design on Reason. I only wish that the video was connected directly to the sound source like the Sonic Dimension videos so that I could hear more or the subtle tweaking but still a great tutorial. This one combined with the Sonic Dimension tutorials has helped me greatly.

I loved this video. I don't own a Mac or Pro Tools but I am finding that most of what I learned is universal and I can apply these great tips to my DAW software. Great job! I totally recommend! ~T Dawn
