Mixer Basics

Drag the pan controls on the top of the

channel strips left and right to set the ste-

reo position of each track.

At this point you can begin to use EQ to

reﬁne your mix, and add effects.

As an example let’s try adding reverb. Click the [Edit]

button ( ) on the left side of the channel strip to

open the VST audio channel settings window. Click

Inserts 1 and select “Reverb - RoomWorks SE”.

For further details refer to the pdf manual pro-

vided with the Cubase AI software.

It’s a good idea to lower the channel fader a

bit before adding an effect, since the effect

can cause an increase in the overall channel

level.

Double-click the left locator (starting point)

and right locator (ending point) of the

Transport panel. Change each highlighted

number, and then specify the position of

the locator.

When the ﬁnal mix adjustments have

been made, go to the [File] menu and

select [Export] → [Audio Mixdown].

Enter a ﬁle name and select a destina-

tion for the ﬁle as well as a ﬁle type.

If you intend to use the ﬁle to create an audio CD, select

the WAV ﬁle type (AIFF on Mac OS X), 16 bit, and 44.1

kHz.

Click [Export].

Progress of the mixdown operation will be shown in a

progress window. When the progress window closes the

mixdown is complete.

Audio ﬁles created by mixdown can be directly

played back using the Windows Media Player,

or iTunes on a Mac computer.

Pan Effectively

“Panning” creates the illusion of stereo space by changing

the relative levels of each track’s signal sent to the left and

right speakers. If a signal is sent only to the left speaker, the

sound will appear to come from the far left side of the stereo

sound ﬁeld. If it sent with equal level to both left and right

speakers our ears tell us the sound is located in the center of

the stage. Judicious panning can also help to create cleaner-

sounding mixes by spreading the instruments out across the

sound stage so that they don’t “get in each other’s way.”

There are no hard and fast rules, but the bass and kick drum

are usually placed in the center of the mix, as is the lead

instrument or vocal. Other instruments should be evenly bal-

anced throughout the sound stage in a well-balanced man-

ner.
