Mixing with Neutron 4

If you're struggling to get polished, professional mixes in Neutron 4, fret no more! Studio expert Larry Holcombe presents a video course dedicated entirely to mixing with Neutron 4! In this Neutron 4 tutorial, with a runtime of over two hours, you'll follow along with Larry as he puts a song through its paces, applying crucial techniques like EQ, panning, compression, and much more. What's even better is that you get all of the stems used in the course, so you'll be able to follow along at home and apply Neutron 4 in real-time for yourself! These videos are designed for beginner Neutron 4 users.

Videos

• Setting Basic Levels with the Visual Mixer (16:34) - In this first video, we set a basic volume balance with Visual Mixer, which we then fine tune to taste.

• Working on Pan & Stereo Width Using Visual Mixer (08:53) - Next, we use the Visual Mixer to adjust pan, level, and stereo width, allowing us to manipulate the left/right and front/back perspectives.

• Enhancing Raw Sounds Using the Assistant (16:38) - We massage a few of our sounds using the amazing Neutron 4 Assistant next, with which we can use machine learning to adjust various module's parameters. This helps push the sounds closer to an idealized version of the part.

• Managing Dynamics with Transient Shaper & Gate Module (11:46) - Next up, we use the Transient Shaper module to manage the dynamics of the track, making sure we have the correct amount of attack and sustain within various parts.

• Treating Harshness & Resonances with EQ Module (16:31) - Discover how to tame resonances in the bass, hats, and vocals next using the Neutron 4 Equalizer. This allows us to reduce room and microphone resonances and unwanted harshness.

• Subtractive EQ (16:11) - Explore subtractive eq next and learn how we can use this to create that all important front/back perspective.

• Basic Compression (14:00) - Next up, we cover setting some basic compression, varying attack and release times to again help enhance the front/back sound field for our marquee sounds.

• Unmask & Masking Meter (08:26) - Discover how to create separation between sounds using the Unmask module and the Equalizer's Masking Meter in this video.

• Saturation & Harmonic Excitation Using Exciter (13:07) - We enter into the world of Neutron 4's amazing Exciter module next, which we use alongside additive EQ to musically round off transients and create richer, fuller parts.

• Parallel Processing (09:25) - Finally, we add some hyped-up parallel compression and some bus limiting to hold things in place slightly and catch some of the peaks to keep more available headroom.
