Description
Mixing Hip Hop eBook and video series is designed for producers of all levels, as well as artists who want to up the quality of their self-produced tunes, we take you through the ups and downs of a real-word hip hop project, revealing a host of industry tips, tricks, and techniques along the way, and all the time explaining the why as well as the how.
Everything’s focused on meeting the needs of classic hip hop productions, but it’s all relevant to other urban, dance and pop genres, and for anyone interested in music production more generally. Like our recent highly acclaimed Mix Bus Strategies e-learning package, Mixing Hip Hop takes the form of a hands-on, example-rich PDF eBook that’s backed up with dozens of audio and video examples —this time there are over 200 pages packed with useful screenshots, 26 video tutorials and 300 uncompressed, pristine-quality 24-bit 44.1kHz WAV files.
Everything’s neatly organized by chapter —read the book, follow the richly illustrated step-by-step examples. About half of the videos are specific to the track the book concentrates on, while the other half focus on production techniques more general. The audio files include the before and after multi-tracks and stereo mixes, so you can import everything into your DAW and put the techniques into practice.
The Mixing Hip Hop eBook and video series start with the raw multi-tracks, assessing what’s good and not so good about the recordings, and exploring strategies to tackle any problems — everything from noise reduction to replacing or pseudo mastering at the mix-bus. Finally, it’s time to sprinkle the gold dust — the book displays how a mix engineer can take things much, much further, when they have free rein to stray beyond the brief. The book explores everything from creative use of effects, triggering new sounds via MIDI that’s been extracted from the audio parts to sophisticated processing and routing strategies that can be used to apply a truly professional sheen to the mix. We think you’ll be impressed by the results!
