THE ESSENTIALS
Don’t be tempted to mix
in every available channel.
Start with “you” so you
hear your own channels
well. With Livemix you can
assign your channels to
the dedicated ME knob for
quick access to your
own volume.
PITCH REFERENCE
Add a pitch reference to
your mix by identifying the
one or two tracks that help
you stay in the right key, or
know when you are off.
TIMING REFERENCE
This will often be the kick/
snare or metronome. It
won’t be every drum in the
kit, but enough to keep
timing true. Use the built
in metronome or auxiliary
input on Livemix to save
precious channel space.
PAN PAN PAN!
Add space to your mix by
panning most channels off
center. Keep the kick, bass,
and you in the center, but
all other channels should
be panned to the left or
right to various degrees.
It may help to pan based
on stage location when
possible.
