Careful automation can restore expression but, before that, a sense of breathing can be put into mixes and this is done using compressors in subtle ways.Īnother concept is that the brain works with audio as with objects. One plays to a click track and to other tracks. With multitrack recording this is largely gone. When people are playing together they exchange glances, they look at each other, they actually play together, accentuating this and that.
The reason is that there is no band recording all at once. The 3D sound field is one, which is linked to another one, which is adding 'breathing' to multitrack mixes. There are many interesting things in there. So I consider myself lucky to have clicked. When I saw 'Mixing with Mike' on youtube I almost clicked elsewhere, thinking nah that can't be it, what I want is a revolution, a super-duper class promising all kinds of things with all kinds of attractive packages and big fonts, people that reach out to me with smart ad campaigns. And with his experience and track record, he knows what he's talking about. His lessons are peppered throughout with a hefty dose of 'if that makes sense'. Not only that, but Michael White also transmits the passion of audio work (mixing, mastering, careering) through his courses.
