❍ Female Chorus 2 Compression THRESH. -16 RATIO 2.5:1 OUT GAIN +2.0 ATTACK 22 Tutorial-Mixdown RELEASE 226 KNEE 4 ❒ Track 13: Male Chorus The quality of this singer's voice makes EQ unnecessary in this situation, but some compression will be helpful to help the blend with the female chorus. ❍ Male Chorus Compression THRESH. -20 RATIO 2.5:1 OUT GAIN +2.0 ATTACK 31 RELEASE 315 KNEE 1 ❒ Track 14: Lead Vocal The lead vocalist on this track has a beautiful wide-range voice, one of the attractions of which is the rich, sensuous low-end. We want all of this to come through, so we'll only use a high pass filter set at 79 Hz to cut out the extreme low frequencies (mostly ambient rumble), and a bit of high boost to provide a little extra presence. The lead voice is well controlled, so not much compression is required ... but we'll use a little anyway, for a subtle boost in punch and power. ❍ Lead Vocal EQ LOW L-MID H-MID HIGH Q HPF - - H.SHELF F 79 - - 10.0 kHz G ON - - +1.5 ❍ Lead Vocal Compression THRESH. -13 RATIO 2.5:1 OUT GAIN +1.5 ATTACK 26 RELEASE 6 KNEE 3 Tip! As you make adjustments to EQ, dynamics, etc., don't be afraid to adjust the fader levels as you go along. EQ and dynamics invariably alter the levels of the tracks, and you'll almost certainly need to make minor adjustments to compensate. ❒ Save the Song! Once again, now's a good time to save your work. Press the WORK NAVIGATE [SONG] key to go to the SONG display, if necessary also press the [F1] function key to select the "Song List" page. Move the cursor to "SAVE" on the display and press [ENTER]. When the confirmation window appears move the cursor to "OK" and press [ENTER] again to actually save the song. 19 - Tutorial
