Reverb to Emulate Funktion One Sound
John from http://www.balancemastering.com/ has released an amazing free collection of Convolution Reverb on their site. They recorded a Funktion One System at a venue in London. John has offered this up to the music producer community to give us some cool new tools and reverbs to play with. John contacted me about the release and we started talking about the project. Here is some of our conversation. So first of All how is it having access to a Funktion One System for mixing? Well The Hive Project during the day and evening is an excellent theatre called The Yard (http://theyardtheatre.co.uk), so we only had a few hours to do our thing and get the IRs recorded before people started arriving for the play. Although I’ve been to gigs there before – the now retired promoters Colony (http://colonyparty.com/) put on some great shows there – I had a pretty clear idea of what the system sounds like and what I wanted to capture. Funktion One is a great sounding system, I’m always amazed at how good they sound in big spaces. You would expect the sound to
The Creative Process: Starting A Track
After a few months of teaching, gigs, and other lifestyles of the rock and roll I have separated a month for making a new Album. During that time I want to write some articles on here about my creative process so you can see how I navigate, making music, finishing music, staying inspired, and such. I also want to inspire you, as I am being inspired, by the process of making music. This is a very personal perspective, I am glad to share with you. So lets start at the beginning of making new music. The best way to start making music is to start off by not making music. Seriously. Spending a few days by yourself and in contemplation will go a long way. You need to take a moment to look at the larger picture of your art, music, why you are doing what you are doing. If you start by thinking; I need to finish this new album. I will lose fans unless I make something great in the next few months. I think people would love a
What is Mid / Side Mixing?
When I sit down to make a new track I want to insure I have the cleanest and most professional sound out there. On my quest I have found out some techniques to really get a great sounding mix. I haven’t shared these before, but wanted to finally let the knowledge be known about how I really take control over my EQ and panning of my sounds. Most people get the idea of Panning a Signal Left and Right, but might not ever hear of Mid/Side Mixing. In this article I am going to explain the basics of Mid/Side Mixing as well as show how to use it in Ableton Live. These techniques will apply for any DAW though. Definition of Mid/Side Mixing: Mid/Side processing works by decoding a stereo signal into two components. The ‘Mid’ channel contains just the information that appears in both the left and right channels. In other Words it’s the Mono signal. The ‘Side’ channel contains all the information that differs between the left and right channels. In other words, this is the sounds only on the sides and
