MIXING DEMYSTIFIED

CREATIVE MUSIC PRODUCTION IN ABLETON LIVE

​

Mixing is the process of fine-tuning individual music tracks, balancing them and creating space in the “mix”. In this 4-hour workshop, participants will deepen their understanding of mixing through listening and hands-on practice with Ableton Live. Composer and artist Lee Gilboa will give you a grounding in the fundamentals of mixing and how to apply them to your own musical style.

 

Topics the class will cover:

• What is a mix?

• Levels & Panning

• EQ & Compression

• Creative processing & breaking the rules

• Listening & analysis of various contemporary artists 

 

The workshop is suitable for those with a basic working knowledge of audio editing software.
