REQ: Raw Techniques Studios - Mixing a Vocal to a 2-Track
This course covers how to mix a vocal to a 2-Track beat/instrumental. Sometimes you are stuck with just a stereo beat and have no way to get the track outs. When this happens you run into several issues when mixing in vocals. The instruments in the beat might get in the way of the vocal but you have no way to pan them around. Maybe the low end is lacking or the high end is too bright. Maybe the stereo field is lacking in the beat. You need to find a way to get the vocals to sit in the beat or on the beat (depending on your preference).
In this course I will take your through a mix/master and show you how to overcome the problems with mixing to a 2-Track beat. I also included the raw audio files so you can practice along with the videos to get some hands on experience.
