Many audio techs use the terms "gain" and "trim" interchangeably and are often confused which parameter to adjust when. In this video, I'll explain the difference between the two and teach you when to use one versus the other. Hope this is helpful! - Schuyler
Everybody knows what reverb is and and that it makes things sound cool, but there are actually many other tools that are helpful creating texture, rhythm, and excitement in a mix. In this video, I'll show you some of those tools that you can use in your own mixes to spice things up. Hope this is...
Most audio engineers understand threshold and ratio on a compressor, but attack and release are often misunderstood and left untouched. In this video, I want to show you what attack and release sounds like so you can dial them in correctly. These two parameters can often be the difference...
Mixing in high resolution is the practice of keeping the faders in your mix as close to unity as possible. It sounds easy enough, but it can be difficult to do in a live sound environment with many inputs.
In this video, I'll teach you why mixing in high resolution is important as well as how...
I often hear audio engineers complain that they can't seem to get enough volume out of their PA or stage monitors. No matter how much they turn it up at every point in the signal path, for some reason, it just isn't loud enough...
In this video, I want to walk with you through your signal flow...
In this video, I'll teach you how to use compressors. Compression is key to controlling the dynamic range of each input, and it will help you create a more balanced mix.
In this video, I'll teach you how to use EQ and high pass filters. These tools are fundamental in mixing, and with a little guidance, you can use them to make some stellar music!
Setting gain structure is a critical step in mixing, but unfortunately, it is probably the most misunderstood concept in the world of audio. In this video, I'll teach you how preamps work and how to understand the metering systems on your console or DAW.
