Elements of Mixing founders Ryan West and Bassy Bob partner with Legacy Recording for Sept. 20th workshop
New York, NY
August 27, 2008
Platinum and Grammy winning mixers Bassy Bob (Biggie Smalls, Christina Aguilera, Babyface, Herbie Hancock) and Ryan West (Just Blaze, Jay-Z, Rihanna, T.I.) have partnered with Legacy Recording (formerly world renowned Right Track and Sound on Sound) to produce the next Elements of Mixing workshop. The event will take place 10am-8pm September 20th, 2008. The Legacy 509 facility is one of the premier film scoring rooms in the US and returning students will find the experience bigger, better and full of useful instruction. Bassy and Ryan will cover all the aspects of the professional mixers' work flow, from balancing to panning, effects, and especially the use of compression to handle multiple bass signals, a key aspect of mixing in todays marketplace. A big topic of the workshop will be the degradation of audio fidelity by the widespread use of mp3 with examples of what happens to sound when it gets compressed, why it truly sucks, and why 24/96 rules. Although there will be an emphasis on Hip Hop and R and B in the presentation, Bassy and Ryan will also be tackling mix sensibilities for Rock, Dance, and Indie. Another special focus will be critical listening exercises and techniques to enhnace that ability. Students that attend the conference will also have an opportunity to have their production and mix work evaluated at the end of the day and will get a chance to see and hear their music from a different perspective.
"The seminar is not intended specifically for engineering students from college but also the independent producer and working engineer who wants his/her presentation mix to bang", said Ryan West. "The Elements of mixing seminar will give you the tools you need to make the mix hit hard and yet hear everything. If we are able to train the next generation of mixers and producers to make great sounding records then I will indeed be fulfilled. We're on a mission", says Bassy.
