TUTORiAL | 700 MB
Join us at Jacquire King’s Nashville studio for a in-depth workshop on recording, production, and mixing techniques! Each episode of this 16-part series focusses on tips and tricks used by the Grammy-winning engineer, who reveals many facets of his record-making process. Using Pro Tools sessions of three different songs, King demonstrates his methods and gives reasoning for their application to the source material. Some of the numerous topics covered include his mix buss chain, choosing a vocal EQ, adding presence to bass guitar, and optimising polarity. Not only does he impart a generous amount of his mixing workflow – he also covers his approaches to recording and production. Jacquire shows you his way of tracking drums, punching in a guitar, subtly enhancing a vocal with Auto-Tune, and much more!
