Master the Art of Music Creation

In Episode 4 of ‘Master the Art of Music Creation’ we begin our new 7-part Remix series. Here we’ll remix the song ‘Words to Say’ from The Arrows, and show you how to prepare the Pro Tools remix session.

Now that we have the vocals and drums from the original tracks, in Episode 5, it’s time to add the main synth part using multiple virtual instruments.

In Episode 6, we will cover Bounce In Place (BIP), grouping tracks for editing, AudioSuite plug-ins for reverse effects, as well as some other cool edit features and how you can use audio plug-ins.

In Episode 7, we rebuild the drum track using loops, Battery and UVI virtual instruments along with plug-ins to hone in the perfect beat and sound for this remix.

Bass and kick are very important for dance music, so in Episode 8 we spend time creating a bass line and mixing the bottom end of this track.

In Episode 9, we’re remixing effects and vocals to get the overall sound of the track together. We’ll be using Pro Tools mix and edit features plus a variety of plug-ins from Avid and our AAX audio plug-in partners.

In Episode 10, our concluding entry in the Remix series, I will finish the track with some final mixing and mastering techniques. I’m going to use a wide range of AAX plug-ins and some of the Pro Tools automation features. I will also show and explain how to integrate outboard…
