Product Overview
World-class remixer extraordinaire Timothy Allan is back with a series that will reveal all there is to make a huge, modern sounding electronic dance track right in your DAW. He begins with his remix of the classic dance track "Fine Day" in raw, multi-track form, and mixes from the bottom up, showing you all of his trade secrets along the way.
Shown in Logic, but applicable to any DAW, Tim covers the basics first, such as organizing the session, setting up sidechains, aux tracks for effects and the master bus configuration. Next, he works the kick drum, then whips up a rough mix, and hones in on all the individual elements such as vocals, percussion, synths, bass, pads and strings. He then wraps it up with vocal and effect tweaks that make huge differences in the mix, special kick and bass compression, automation and more.
If you're striving for that "radio ready" sound and a mix that sounds huge in the clubs, this collection of video tutorials is a must see. After absorbing and applying Tim's techniques, your electronic music tracks will sound more professional and stand out in the sea of music productions.

Super Useful Stuff.

By the way it is pronounced MOOG and not Mooooog... at least thats how Bob says it.https://www.google.com/search?q=how+do+you+pronounce+moog&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS732US732&oq=how+do+you+pronounce+MOOG&aqs=chrome.0.0l6.6238j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=1

Unorganised
Guy was unorganised and messy, got a good result but committed a lot of bad habits so I wouldn't recommend for beginners.

So helpful!
I received so much out of this. Tim is a real pleasure to follow as he takes his raw stems and turns them into a polished mix. I learned a great deal about compression, eq, filtering, and creative use of effects. The sections on kick and bass, and getting them to sit nicely together, were especially useful. I will be purchasing this one for sure.

Classic Track! Awesome remix :D
Love his tutorial on mixing around the kick. I've been mixing for a little now and this tutorial has helped me with fitting drums into the right spots, getting the kick and bass to punch through my mix without all the mud and low end. It's nice to hear a progressive trance remix on here!
