Tutorial-Mixdown ❒ Track 8: Piano We'll use some EQ to "thin out" the piano sound a bit, and give it a touch more presence so that it will come through in the mix a bit more. ❍ Piano EQ LOW L-MID H-MID HIGH Q L.SHELF 8.0 - H.SHELF F 74 21 - 7.55 kHz G -3.5 -4.0 - +2.0 ❒ Tracks 9 & 10: Strings If we'd recorded real strings we might have needed a bit of processing here, but since this is pretty-much a "pre-processed" synth string patch, we can leave it alone. ❒ Tracks 11 & 12: Female Chorus 1 & 2 Processing to make a chorus "blend" well can be tricky, but in general you'll just have to rely on you ears. In this case we've used high-pass filtering to remove rumble from the studio and other low-frequency noise that can lead to unclear overall sound. Some midrange has been removed to prevent the chorus from getting in the way of the lead vocal, and a touch of high-end presence has been added to help the voices cut through. Compression also helps to achieve a tighter chorus blend by smoothing out dynamic variations. ❍ Female Chorus 1 EQ LOW L-MID H-MID HIGH Q HPF 10.0 9 H.SHELF F 94 841 1.49 kHz 13.4 kHz G ON -1.5 -2.5 +4.0 ❍ Female Chorus 2 EQ LOW Q HPF F 50 G ON L-MID 1.0 1.00 kHz -2.5 H-MID - - - HIGH H.SHELF 13.4 kHz +3.5 ❍ Female Chorus 1 Compression THRESH. -16 RATIO 2.5:1 OUT GAIN +2.0 ATTACK 21 RELEASE 319 KNEE 1 18 - Tutorial
