Chapter 4: Routing to the Mixer and Applying Automation
Once you've arranged melodies for your song, you can begin mixing. Mixing is the process where you combine instrument sounds and strategically blend them together. You need to be familiar with how audio is passed around the Mixer in order to mix music efficiently, and in this chapter, we will learn how. In future chapters, we will apply our understanding of the Mixer by applying effects to our sounds.
In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:
- What is mixing?
- Routing audio to the Mixer
- Navigating the Mixer console
- Applying automation
- Freezing Audio Clips
