ABSTRACT

Chapter 13 begins a discussion of mixing from the standpoint of a digital media composer. After an introduction to microphone types and related cabling, the focus turns to signal flow in both studio console and computer software scenarios. Throughout the chapter, you will explore concepts such as polar patterns, channel strips, in-line effects, aux tracks, and referencing. This will provide a foundation for understanding later chapters on recording, editing, mixing, processing, and mastering.
