Chris Potter (a sound engineer working with Sarah McLachlan) will show you how to achieve professional sound in pop compositions using Pro Tools, starting with the logic of mix compression, mixing individual instruments, and level adjustments, all the way to the mixing process. Given the deep-insider mastering concepts and secrets revealed in this title, this tutorial is suitable for people working with any DAW, from Pro Tools to Logic, Live, and beyond. “Pro Tools 401: Mastering in Pro Tools” begins with an actual mix. Phil begins the tutorial by cleaning-up a mix and preparing it for the mastering process. Along the way you’ll learn valuable skills like how to prepare and bounce stem files, and even how to properly calibrate your monitors so you know you’re hearing the sound the way you should be!
