Channel Strip & Fat Channel;

WHAT DOES A CHANNEL STRIP PLUGIN DO?

What Are Channel Strip Plugins? Channel strip plugins combine a variety of mixing effects within a single interface. 

These versatile plugins are extremely useful mixing and analysis tools. 

Many channel strip plugins emulate actual channels on iconic analog mixing consoles

Moving on to the Fat channel 

There's a built-in EQ that is useful with Fat Channel.

The Fat Channel is the section of a StudioLive mixer that delivers  

a four-band parametric EQ

The Gate is used for;

A noise gate or gate is an electronic device or software that is used to control the volume of an audio signal. 

Comparable to a compressor, which attenuates signals above a threshold, such as loud attacks from the start of musical 

notes, noise gates attenuate signals that register below the threshold.

Compressors are good too.

Compressor pedals are typically used to enhance the sound of a clean guitar for a couple of reasons. 

First, notes played with a clean guitar tone often lack sustain and begin to decay quickly after the string is plucked.

 Compression extends the life of the note by raising the volume as it decays

The limiter Is normally used for:

-3 & -6 is what everyone believes they should limit the vocals, but that isn't always the case.

Use the Limiter effect to pass signals below a specified input level unaffected or gently reduced, while preventing

 the peaks of stronger signals from exceeding this threshold. ... This limiter effect provides two basic types of effect;

 "limiting" and "clipping"

It is the button right next to the red 'record' button on each track. Each track the tuner is on will only work if it is being monitored.

Now the Tuner is a very helpful tool to have for any vocal lessons.

It helps show you what note you are currently singing in, it also works with Instruments.

EQ And Compressor.

Which should come first?

This is what many get confused.

When asking producers, some will state reasons why a compressor should come first; others, why an EQ should come first.

Everyone stated his or her reasons of why a compressor should come first before others ,

So why does an EQ should come first?

So I'll clarify it for you

and leave you with some decisions to make,

But at the end, Both methods are awesome!

EQ pre (before) compression produces a warmer tone and

EQ post (after) (Compression before the EQ) produces a more cleaner sound.

So what you have to ask yourself is:

"Why should you compress the frequencies

you don't need?"

Do you need a cleaner sound?

If you compress before EQ, how will you get to

hear those frequencies that bother you?

Do you wanna EQ your squish or Squish your EQ?

The truth is: There are no right or wrong ways in mixing.

Make good use of your ears, experiment , and go for what suits your music best.

Our channel is.

We will be embarking up a journey together to learn more about how we Layer Loops .We will find out how to Add samples, edit samples and more.
The fundamentals behind this series is just to help out in our music community

 and show different styles and ways to make and create different sounds and sampled loops.
Let's just have a good time making music together.

Thanks on behalf of all the Members of Crowd Kit!

 People ask me all the time how I was able to get to the point I'm at with making music,and you know all I tell them is You have to listen to your music. 

    I started at 18 years old, now I'm 30, and I'm going to show you all what I have learned in that time.

I will upload more soon.

Gain Automation ( Ultimate Secret )

Gain Automation ( Ultimate Secret )

 As we all know vocals do have huge dynamic range,Although every single

word has to be loud and intelligible.

Making sure all phrases are at the same or similar levels.

The idea here is to do all the heavy lifting with gain automation.

Then you can use subtle compression to level out the volume

even more but in a more subtle way.

Three Awesome Ways to approach A better mix!

Three Awesome Ways to approach A better mix! 

1.A good recording.

Clean dynamics that's all you should be after. 

There are no possible ways to achieve a great mix if at first you didn't achieve a good recording session.

I'll advise its better you spend your cash on good mics than

                                                    buying expensive gadgets you really don't know how to work with .                                             

2.Know where you are heading.

    A blind mix has been done by someone who doesn't know where 

to start or end ,probably might end up with a mix that completely sucks!

Try to picture how you want your track to be.  

For me I'll say mixing is like painting, you are the artist. 

If you want a great art then you have to know what you are doing.

3.Your Environment

Most producers are fond of buying the most expensive gadgets,

 Buying new monitor speakers without your studio being acoustically treated is not a well thought out plan. 

If your room isn't well tuned, your mix will end up being total crap.  

    Its also advisable you buy different set of speakers, a Bluetooth speaker because they can also be helpful for comparing how                             your mix translates across different mediums.

New Sound Library.

 

Our Team was Developed By Three Incredible Producers to see that Artist like your self can have a brand new Sound, and Experience. We Provide Producers a chance to have the top Samples and Loops that they have heard by the world. Check out our Samples and Loops today!
    We Collaborate with Producers all over the world to developed the perfect sound. Once we have the Sound Library We will have the Top Producers Critiquing it to Perfection. 

    We have set out to find the Best sounding Audio and sound Engineer to Make our Sample Kits and Loop Packs to the best quality. But, Step three is the biggest part of our Strategy 

    Once we have received the Best quality Sounds back we will allow the producers a chance into purchasing slots on our (A.P.P) Auto-Producer Program. This allows us to not only make the best Samples and Kits, but to allow us to give back to our Producers who Participated.

    Thank you for Cooperating, GrizzleyMusik and the Entire team from CrowdKit.
