85: Analyzing Stems (Mixed vs. As-Recorded)

from DIY Recording Guys · host Vadim Kharaz and Benjamin Hull

It can be really difficult to isolate a specific instrument from a finished mix...and that's kind of the point! A mix is like a stew, it should taste like a stew - not like a bunch of individual ingredients. Wouldn't it be cool if you could isolate individual instruments of a finished mix and hear what they sound like solo'd? We thought so too! That's what we do in this episode. You will learn:How to decide between double tracking and quad trackingHow mixed drums sound and what big changes are made to the kick and snareHow to get wider, thicker, more interesting vocal mixesHow additional layers can help "fill in the cracks" of a mixWhat unmixed vs mixed stems sound likeArtist: Dan Casagrande - Fading AwayWhere to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.
