MUSC 38313 - Mixing

In addition to an in-depth exploration of traditional mixing topics such as balance, equalization, dynamics, spatial effects, and automation, you will explore best practices in work-flow, client management, and mixing for digital streaming services. Throughout the course, students will mix a number of provided recordings in a variety of Billboard chart-related styles. Students will also be tasked with creating a “sound-alike” recording, an in-depth exploration of techniques, equipment, and processes used to create a mimic of a recording of your choice. This work requires students to organize, implement, and execute large multi-track mixes in a DAW mixdown environment, in addition to executing technically and creatively advanced mixing techniques and preparing mixes for contemporary streaming formats.
