On Show #2 Lij Shaw talks about setting up a template for mixing and mix workflow. Lij shares tips for eq, compressoin, and console mixing with Protools and finishes with some important tools for the studio.
Mix Templates:
Track Setup
Eqs
Compression
Buss routing and FX
Use of console vs “in the box” mixing
Using analog tape in Nashville TN
Monitoring your mix. Setting up your speakers.
Some great tools for working in the studio and mixing
Time Logger for the iPhone. This app is great and works very well (having tried many of them)!
Freshbooks I use this for invoicing from the studio. Makes communcation and payments super easy and one click through Paypal!
Next up for Stereo Sessions 7 is the duo Two House Towns. Aidan Finlin (his dad is Jeff Finlin also on Stereo Sessions 7) joins up with Brian Holdbrook for some thoughtful songs. Quiet nylon guitars and silk voices conjure up autumnal moods of love forlorn as the Finlin family musical legacy continues.
Cheers!
