The Ultimate Music Production Resource
Effects are important in audio processing because they allow us to improve our audio and get it to a standard we want it at. One of the popular effects used in many arenas of audio engineering is delay. Delay is the echo-like effect that sounds more like a repetition of the original signal on which […]
Frequency is an important aspect of any kind of audio production. I work in music production so I’m mostly dealing with instruments and vocals. This usually involves going through individual mix elements to make sure that they’re in the right frequency range. It therefore pays to have an understanding of various elements and their frequency […]
We often hear a lot of terms used when people are talking about the sonic qualities of audio. For example, you’ve heard the term “warmth” being used to describe the properties of a mix. This warmth is a usually a result of applying saturation which is a tool that is responsible for adding harmonic content […]
Bass is one element of music that is cardinal. Without bass, we end up with a record sounding light when it should be sounding heavy. If you’re a trap hip-hop producer I’m going to teach you how to mix trap bass so you level up your own skills and make better beats. Bass in general […]
