Final Mix part 1


Final Mix of the project was pretty much straight forward because at the beginning of this module we focus on the quality of the recordings.
When we first entered in studio we started levelling all the tracks and then panning them in order to have an idea of how the song will sound. All our tracks were recorded by a click track to sync them easy.
When we first listened to the song we figured out that some instruments were not in time with the click track, so we had to quantise somehow the audio tracks, because we recorded in Pro Tools we had the "elastic time" option and if you know what type of sound an instrument produces you can quantise easily every audio track.

The second problem we encountered was the levels of the recordings, some of them had high variations but we compressed those channels, after we finished with the compression we used equalisation on every instrument in order to make some room and avoid the frequency masking.
The drums were gated in order to reduce the spilling and the overheads panned.
