Description:
You've spent enough time watching DVD's that claimed to teach you Mixing, Editing, and Mastering in 2 hours time.
Now you're ready to sit down for 8 hours with multi-platinum (and up for this years Grammy for best dance mix!) producer John Merchant and REALLY learn how to mix.
Over this 8 hour period you will utilize advanced bussing, trimming, EQ, compression, and delays. You'll learn his techniques for creating tall, deep and wide mixes with amazing vocal reverbs and effects.
Go beyond the basics with advanced uses of automation, buss compression, and the power behind a true vocal ride.
Finally, spend an hour and a half seeing the interplay between mix engineer and producer as the mix takes it's final shape. Unless you grew up in a studio, this is the closest to a final mix session most people ever get.
