Cutting Through the Mix with Neutron
Appropriate for Level 2
What You'll Learn
Cutting Through the Mix
One of the biggest challenges in making a great mix is getting specific tracks to ‘cut’ through the mix. Sometimes getting the lead vocal or synth to ‘cut’ through is a simple matter of filtering, eq and compression. But, sometimes it can be really challenging – especially when multiple tracks share a similar spectral identity (for example a guitar and vocal or multiple guitars or synths). When you’re facing that kind of challenge, it’s really nice to know you have some powerful tools to do a great job, quickly!
Where You’ll Start…
At the outset, we’ll be focused on Sculptor – one of the most powerful tools in Neutron. Sculptor makes it easier to tweak an individual instrument/track to be heard and sound balanced (given its own identity and frequency range).
Exposing Your Mix’s Feature
In this course, we’ll look at solving this problem with features like:
- Machine learning Track Enhance
- Visual Mixer (Pan, Width & Level)
- Sculptor
- Share your mix & lessons learned!
When You’re Finished…
By the time you’ve completed and understood the lessons in this course, you’ll have a good grasp of how use Sculptor, Track Enhance, Visual Mixer, Snapshots and more.
