Description: Signal flow is the journey of your audio from the microphone (or instrument) to the final mix. Along the way, many terrible things can happen. The signal can degrade, often ruining the sound quality. In this course, Joe Albano will explain how NOT to make signal routing mistakes that create distortion or clipping, ruining an otherwise great-sounding production. When you insert a plugin into your DAW, that insertion is actually a connection. That’s signal flow. Making poor connections can ruin an otherwise great track. Let’s make the signal flow mistakes so you won’t have to!
