Mixing Rock on a Budget Explained®

HiDERA | 06 January 2025 | 253 MB

Wondering how to get that big studio rock sound with a meager setup? Well, mixing wiz Alberto has a mixing rock video course designed just for you! In this mixing course, you’ll learn many techniques and tips for getting great sounds out of less-than-perfect-sounding tracks, all of which can be applied in numerous scenarios, regardless of genre. By the end of this mixing rock course, you’ll be raring to go and tackle that tricky mix that you thought was a lost cause. These videos are designed for intermediate-level mix engineers. Alberto begins by discussing what he’s going to be covering in the course, so you’ll know exactly what you can expect. Then it’s on to drums, where you’ll learn how to create a killer-sounding drum foundation by enhancing the sounds and/or triggering/layering samples while still retaining a human feel. Guitars and bass follow, and Alberto takes you all the way from raw DI tracks to phenomenal-sounding full tones using a few surprises along the way. Next, you’ll explore the idea of setting up a virtual analog console, which is an excellent workflow in this style, as it can provide some useful limitations and add an interesting sonic character to the proceedings. The rest of the course will continue to cover other important topics, such as the mix bus (adding processing to help glue the tracks, etc.), parallel compression on the drums (for added energy and vibe), and vocals (providing space and clarity among the instrumental track).

Classic Rock Essentials IR

P2P | 04 September 2024 | 24 MB

The Classic Rock Essentials wave audio format impulse response library is based on a vintage British 4×12 cabinet loaded with greenbacks and captured in such a way as to channel the vibe of rock guitar cabinet tones from the late 1960’s through early 1980’s. Back in the golden age of analog recording, most albums were cut with the band all playing in the same room at the same time, tracked through a mixing console to analog tape. This led to the bleeding of instruments between mics, and so far as the guitar tones were concerned produced a less direct sound than what became common place after the digital revolution, where most instruments are tracked individually and in total isolation. This library embraces that classic spirit of yesteryear, allowing the smooth, smokey, vintage sounding guitar tones to breathe more, and let more of the room into the sound for every capture. In contrast to the past, however, this IR library ensures that all sound sources captured are time and phase aligned, preventing the slap-back delay type of effect that can be heard on those old recordings. The result is the marriage of old and new, living harmoniously in peace, man!
