Setting Pan
Setting Pan
• Load the project “Mixing 2” found in the “Sequel Tutorial 3” folder.
• Setting the pan for each track moves its position in the stereo mix. You can either
keep the signal balanced in the middle of the left and right speaker, slightly to the
left or right, or be completely in the left or right speaker.
• Keep the Drums track in the middle. Move the bass track slightly to the left and
move the guitar track almost all the way left and the synth track almost all the way
to the right. This gives the mix a little bit more of a feeling of space.
• To get the panner back to the center, [Ctrl]/[Command]-click directly in the panner
area.
Mute and Solo
• Load the project “Mixing 3” found in the “Sequel Tutorial 3” folder.
For each track, there are buttons for mute and solo. Mute prevents you from hearing
the track, and solo only plays that track or tracks that have solo enabled.
• You can mute or solo several tracks simultaneously.
• When you solo a track, the other tracks are muted.
• To disable a solo or mute state, click the button again.
• To simultaneously mute a track that is soloed and solo another track,
[Ctrl]/[Command]-click the Solo button of the track that you want to solo.
That’s it for solo and mute. Let’s move on to adding EQ.
Adding EQ
• Load the project “Mixing 4” found in the “Sequel Tutorial 3” folder.
EQ, or equalization, adds or subtracts frequencies, so that you can place each
instrument correctly in the mix. EQ is subjective and can be influenced by the kind of
music you are mixing or the kind of music that you like to listen to.
We are going to run through the EQ features that Sequel has to offer, but feel free to
experiment and try the different presets on your mix.
1. Select the Drums track in the Arrange Zone.
2. Solo the Drums track, and open the Track Inspector Page in the Multi Zone.
