Mixing DVD/Future Releases

Multi-Platinum Mixing is almost finished now and its really going to be great! Our mixer, John Merchant has been working on the mix and this past week, he and I had a session together where I offered my producer's comments on the mix and we made changes. All of this was recorded and will be a part of the final DVD. After we agreed on the "master" mix, John walked through printing versions. There is so much great information in this DVD, I don't even know where to start. For anyone who's ever tried to mix in Pro Tools or wanted to give it a try, this will be a must-have when it's finished.

We've got a lot of big news coming up within the next month so stay tuned for more as soon as we can release details. What I can talk about is some of our upcoming DVDs that are in the works once the Multi-Platinum Mixing is finished and has been released. We've obviously started our weekly blog and for those of you who don't know yet, we've also released a Pro Tools Tip of the Day Widget. It's downloadable on the Apple page and it's also available on our "downloads" page at Multiplatinumprotools.com. (http://www.multiplatinumprotools.com/widget/index.html) We're getting ready to launch a weekly Podcast as well where you can hear us discuss various topics related to Pro Tools.

Future releases scheduled as of now are "Multi-Platinum Production" where we'll discuss using Pro Tools as a production tool. This DVD will focus primarily on home studio users and what you can do with a Pro Tools system if you want to make your song sound great but maybe you don't have access to the budget or musicians that you'd like so you have to "work with what you've got." I get a lot of people who comment on our videos and the level of musicianship we have even before we edit, tune, etc. I'll agree that having those great musicians makes a HUGE difference, but in Multi-Platinum Production, we'll show you ways that you can make any project sound great. I've also have lots of e-mails about various drum editing scenarios so I'm thinking about doing a DVD entirely on Drum Editing. We'll discuss pocketing to a click, pocketing to a loop, pocketing the band to the drums, even what to do when your band cuts with no click?!?

That's all for now...check back next week for more thoughts and insight.

Thanks,

Brady
