EP 2: How to Mix a Live Sound Recording


Listen Later

Today's episode is all about taking a live sound worship recording from an Allen and Heath QU32 and bringing into the studio realm to mix. The recording wasn't the cleanest, the microphones weren't the best, and the amount of drum bleed into those mics was almost unusable. Despite the odds against achieving a good mix, I decided to do everything I could to enhance the quality of this song and take it to a whole other level! 

Some of today's talking points include:

  • Level setting
  • Drum replacement 
  • Corrective EQ
  • Multiband compression
  • How to fix bleed from the drum kit into the vocal mics
  • Compression
  • How to remove vocal resonances
  • Haas effect for making mono into stereo
  • Master bus processing
  • How to enhance background vocals
