What I did: I wanted to make things sound much more clearer, so I added compression to the drums and bass. I also wanted to make sure that all of the instruments were not all next to each other so I used panning to avoid drowning out an instrument. I changed the volumes up based on what was heard more and what needed to be louder. Finally, using Multiband and Limiter I changed how things were vertically in the mix.

What I learned: In this mix I learned how I could change where things were and how they were heard using Compression, and learned that I could also change positions of instruments vertically with Multiband and Limiter. I also learned how to fit in soundeffects with automated panning anywhere in the mix.

What I did:

I started off by finding some drum beats and put them on the tracks that sounded good to me. After that I started to find regular beats that I could sample that would sound good with the drum beats that I found. Once I paired the tracks up and figured out what sounded good together, I went and found movie and sound clips to sample and add to my mix.

What I learned:

I learned what sampling was with taking tracks and putting them together to make my own song. I learned how to import sound clips from websites and I learned how to add audio effects to my songs. I also learned how to mix unrelated tracks together and make them sound good.
