AcademyFm - The Mixing Blueprint - V2 (21-22)

The document discusses principles of depth and applying elements in a mix. Depth can be controlled by amplitude, with lower volumes sounding further away. Effects like reverb and delay can also create depth. To achieve a clean mix, each element needs its own unique space.

Depth
5. Depth is simply controlled by amplitude (volume). The lower in volume an element is in your mix, the further away it will sound. The
contrary is also true, any element that has high amplitudes will sound like it’s right in front of your face. You can also
accentuate the illusion of depth with effects such as reverbs and delays.

Note: You can create depth in many


ways. Simply adjusting volume is the
simplist form of creating depth to your
mix.
Depth can also be achieved by adding
effects such as reverb, simple delays
with shorter delay times, etc.

Applying Elements
6. Now that you know these principles, you can start filling your mix (box) with multiple elements. To achieve a clean mix, all you
need to do is give each element it’s own unique space. We know it’s not as easy as it sounds written on paper!

Note: The “hidden” fourth dimension


in your mixing space is time.
Over time, each element will change in
volume, disappear, reappear, move to
another place in your stereo image, or
even be completely replaced by a new
element.
A great mix engineer makes sure to
create a clear mixing space where
every element has its defined place
throughout the entire song.
