    Posted by admin on July 1st, 2010 and filed under Audio Mixing Software | 3 Comments »

    Take a student-guided tour of the Commercial Music Certificate Program offered at West Valley College in Saratoga, CA.

Jeff Forehan is the program director.

    Mixing Tutorial - Full Song Sample Mix Session Processing Individual Tracks - CDSoundMaster.com

    Posted by admin on August 9th, 2009 and filed under Audio Mixing Software | No Comments »

    This Mixing Tutorial is part one of two videos. In this tutorial, I created a demo song to demonstrate using my original programs for Nebula Commercial on each individual track in the mix. The use of eq, harmonic enhancement, and compression from my “Retro Analog Studio Suite” and “Producer’s Pack” help make a clean mix upgrade with a few simple steps!

    Mixing Tutorial - Live Drums - Processing Attack Transients and EQ’ing Kick

    Posted by admin on August 6th, 2009 and filed under Audio Mixing Software | No Comments »

    This video helps you hear the effect of processing the fast attack transients of a snare drum separately from the sustain/ambient portion of the snare drum.
    The kick drum is then eq’d, and you get to hear the before/after that results.
    Processing is done with my original software library
    “The Producer’s Pack” for the Nebula Plug-in.

    Audio Mastering Tutorial - UAD Fairchild + www.CDSoundMaster.com

    Posted by admin on August 2nd, 2009 and filed under Audio Mixing Software | 4 Comments »

    In this Audio Mastering Tutorial, I will be using the UAD-1 Fairchild for a mastering compressor, along with a Steinberg “loudness maximizer” and the Free Aradaz Maximizer to finish off this sample session.
    Keep in mind that the “loudness maximizer” is not a tool to be used for all high-end mastering projects: it has it’s place, but not often. It is used here bc it is easy to translate what it does via the quality of the video. The Aradaz plug-in is also not the best choice for master-limiting, but it is an excellent free tool and I prefer promoting it over well-known plug-ins that cost too much and some that have an unimaginable ‘upgrade plan’.
