Mixing with Cubase LE
Start with the Featured Part
You can start working on a mix from almost any part, but it
makes the most sense to start with the main instrument or
vocal. Set up an initial level for the main part, and then build
the rest of the mix around it.
For example, if you’re mixing a piano trio with a vocalist, begin
by setting the level of the vocal track at around the nominal
level, and then gradually add the other instruments. Your
choices will also be influenced by the type of music you are
working on. If the song is a ballad you might want to add the
piano to the mix after the vocal, and then add the bass and
drums. If it’s a more rhythmically oriented piece you could add
the bass and drums first, and then the piano. Whatever best
serves the music is right.
