Making Sure your Mix Is Solid



Howdy, and welcome back. Today we will be discussing how to make sure your mix is good to go. This involves a few short steps to perfecting your masterpiece. Often time’s levels, volumes in, and audio track can either determine whether the track is good quality or a total bust. To eliminate that issue, I’m going to discuss how to avoid that. First things first, be sure to make sure the actual volumes in the audio tracks are at a level of comfort. From there you will need to find the EQ levels. Depending on your software, this can be found in the menus tab. A small box will appear and then allow you to tweak, edit, and adjust the overall levels of your recording. In the EQ settings, you can adjust the compression, the volume, and the panning. When mastering the overall volume of your track, be sure to listen to it precisely. Do you or have you noticed any background noise? Well in the event that you do hear background noise as a presence in your audio track, simply silence or delete this section of your recording. Here is what the screen should look like. Be sure to pay attention to the colors as they represent different functions in the audio track. As always, be sure to comment and leave any questions in the comment section. Have fun experimenting and visit the video included. Make your audio sound professional. Be creative and let me know how it goes for you.

The performing art piece I chose to do with my partner Malia B. was one that should inspire many. At first I had no idea of what I wanted to do. I thought about a music video, but how can I be apart of a performance and put a twist on it. Thus, forth I decided to seek a partner or partners. In class me and Malia coordinated amongst ourselves when we meet. We met here on campus in the Music Department in the instrument portion of the building.

For my Grid Art project I took a different approach. I wanted to capture multiple elements of art in one project, thus I incorporated different aspects of art. I thought to myself, what will capture the visual aesthetics of other humans and their artistic vision. From U]T, to my house (all over), to the backyard, to the beach, in my room, I used the traditional grid of a cardboard box. Made with glitter. (This is the actual picture that inspired the art) My grid art project was inspired by my love for retro video games. I've always enjoyed older games like Pacman, Mariokart, Megaman, and more. So with this project I decided to change the elements and leave people in ahh. As appose to constructing a piece via grid (insertables) I chose to go a different. For my project I used a traditional grid from a bedframe box.. Yes I know, not average. However, the (box) bedframe was the base of my project. Incorporated in the piece you can see that Q-tips, Blue Elec...
