Mastering and mixing tutorials Part 1

Image
In this studio session, watch DubVision walk into the 789ten studio once again and create the most in depth tutorial we have seen from them yet. After a 2 hour + session, they left us with the progressive house banger you hear in the trailer. This studio session provides a close up look into DubVision’s musical decision making process on mixing, arranging, composition, sound selection and sound manipulation. After countless releases on the top labels in dance music, the name DubVision has become synonymous with Progressive House. Their productions have a consistent standard of extremely high quality and phenomenal songwriting. With millions upon millions of plays on well-known tracks such as “I Found Your Heart”, “Hollow”, and “Satellites”, there is so much to learn from these guys; not to mention, they are a blast to hang out with in the studio.

DADA Life Sausage and Endless smile plugin

The Sausage Fattener only has two knobs. But don’t be fooled. With those seemingly simple parameters you can create loads of different sounds. Use the Sausage Fattener on a single channel with moderate settings as a musical compressor. Turn it up and you have a dirty bastard of distortion. But you can also use the plugin on a bus (for example all the drums and the bass) or the whole track as a mastering plugin. The Sausage Fattener is used by Tiësto, Kaskade, Diplo, Laidback Luke, Chuckie, Sebastian Ingrosso, Dirty South, Hardwell, Angger Dimas, Frank E, Zedd, Lazy Rich, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, Marcus Schossow, John Dahlbäck and many other DJ/producers.

Final Thoughts

Final Thoughts I would say the overall the experience of recording a whole band was stressful yet beneficial at the same time. Finding the band wasn't hard thanks to Jonathan but getting them together on the same date before the dateline was. We manage to find a date that suits everyones schedule and we manage to record all three songs in one day. First, we came early and took about 2 hours before the set time to set up the project and mics. Markings are placed on the floor to indicate which way to face and the band members' placements. We had refreshments ready especially the vocalist. Setting up was the easy part, the hard part was getting the band members ready for each take and get them to listen to our instructions. For the first song, we ran into a huge issue where we saved the project as file instead of project, and when we opened the project to check the audio, it was all gone but luckily we manage to find the audio files and saved it as project instead. We don...
