Mixing and Mastering

When I received 50 various soundscapes from different people on their favourite food with almost different environmental backgrounds. There is absolutely nothing I could do with making them on the same Eq. I don’t want to downgrade some of the soundscapes because they are using microphones to record. And some of them totally use recording machines on the What’s up. It is hard to get everyone on the same page so that is the reason why I have a think to mix it into 8 speakers using grm spaces.

Although I did not figure it out how could I down mix 8 channels to stereo, I down mix it into 5,1 using logic and I got binaural feed back recordings.

Experiment on delay, echo and resonance in Ableton Live

Working flow on interviews:

I use logic to trim and cut clips cause I find it is quite easy and quick. Sometimes just getting annoying of cutting 15 seconds out of 30 mins.

Getting bits and bobs ready to my final mix table:

I used A lot of EQ, tremolos, and pan for the sake of people using different recorders in different environments. And it is also easy to get away from the ‘p’ and ‘b’ mouth noises. I put echos and reverbs and delays on my narration parts to make it sounds more cheesy and I did not put any pitch shifters on it. So they are all my natural voices. I used the bx_master to master the whole track cause this is the one currently I owned.

I think it is the kind of workflow I normally do. Ableton has a lot of free and creative plugins. Protools is nice to use with space design. Logic is easy to be organised.
