Automation Mixing and Mastering

1. The document discusses the process of music production including recording, mixing, and mastering. It emphasizes that each step supports the other and is equally important. 2. Mixing involves grouping audio clips and applying effects to bring the track to life, while mastering takes the mixed track and adds final touches like level adjustment and formatting for distribution. 3. Automation in a digital audio workstation (DAW) allows automatic adjustments to volume, panning, and other effects, simplifying the mixing process. Choosing the right DAW depends on the desired changes to the track.

MUSIC PRODUCTION

• Music production is the process of creatively conceptualizing a work, its


musical work and fixation (physical and/or digital) through recording, mixing
and mastering systems to generate sound products. For this you should work in
fields like music theory, songwriting, arranging and orchestration, music
history, music performance, audio engineering and recording, electronic music,
film/video sound, game music, and–of course–music production.
DAW AUTOMATION

• In music production, having automation (automatic computer adjustmens on


the track, used most on volumen in terms of faders and knobs) means having a
contemporary DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). Its important to know which
DAW is the best for your production based on the changes you are looking to
make (volumen, panning, gain, EQ, compression and more). This simplifies the
mixing process.
MIXING

• Mixing is the process of grouping all audio clips of a session in order to bring
the track to life. This most be done on suitable studio monitors in order to reac
a flawless representation of the changes you desire to do to the recording.
Effects like reverb, delay and modulations are applied after equalizing, filtering
and compressing the overall content.
• Some examples of apps to practice your mixing skills from a basic level are;
Garageband, Logic, Edjing, Mixpad, and many more (in both iOs and
Android).
MASTERING

• Once mixing is done, its time to master. This is a process where you take what
was made on the mix to add the final touches. It may involve actions like
adjusting levels, applying stereo enhacement, and monitoring for any kind of
exta sound that could distract the listener from the music. Mastering makes the
sound cohesive across the record and prepares the music for different
distribution formats, such as Vinyl, MP3/AAC, streaming services such as
Spotify or Apple Music, and broadcast.
RECOMENDATIONS

• 1. Never try to master your own mix or music.


• 2. Don´t try to join both mixing and mastering into one step, they are two
different processes.
• 3. ALWAYS use headphones when doing this processes.
• 4. Look for the DAW automation that best fits what you are looking to obtain
from your track.
• 5. Listen back to your parameters in order for you to identify what works and
what needs to be changed.

CONCLUSION

• Every single step in the making of a track should have no


more or less importance tan the others. There is a complete
process that most be followed in order to reach what you
arer looking for. One step supports the other. For example,
its good to know how to get a mix ready to be mastered,
this way is much easier to put together the mastering part.
