WHAT YOU’LL LEARN FROM THIS COURSE
Hard Beats That Groove:
The pride of any HipHop track is its beat. Bob doesn’t only show you how to achieve a powerful low-end and hard-hitting snares, but also how to blend multiple layers of instruments that enhance the groove of the track and how you can give each element its own space in the mix.
In-Your-Face Rap Vocals:
You want your vocals to sound raw and in-your-face, so the rapper’s flow and delivery can dominate the track. However, if you leave your vocals too dry (without any effects), they’ll stick out like a sore thumb and won’t blend with the beat. Bob shows you how to mix tight and up-front vocals and how to subtly work in effects to help them blend with the beat without losing authenticity.
Build Excitement & Tension
Let’s face it: Beats can be repetitive at times.
– And that’s not a bad thing, it puts you in a certain head space and vibe! But you would be surprised at all the little details that go into the mix to spice things up and keep your listeners interest. Bob shows you how to use various Effects to liven up the track and how to build tension in your mix by using automation.
Fullness & Loudness
Master bus processing is crucial, especially in HipHop. If you get the master bus processing wrong, you can easily ruin your whole mix.
This tutorial will show you how to take you mix to a competitive loudness, so it can stand up next to any commercial release. – Without losing low-end impact, causing distortion or a ‘pumping effect’.
Learn not just the how, but why
Watching Youtube tutorials and learning new mixing techniques is great! But it can mess with your head if you’re missing a plan, a strategy to approach your mixes. Only if you understand the why behind every mixing decision, you’ll grow as a mixer and turn out great mixes on a regular basis.
