Learning Outcome Four:

Be able to mix and edit recorded sound:

Mix One:

 The picture below shows the overview of the entire song.

The image below shows the mixing i did for the song, I was mainly just tuning up the vocals and turning down the instruments which were too overpowering and were blocking out the vocals making it hard for the person listening too hear what the artist was singing in the vocals.

The image below shows the equalizer. I used this on the bass of the song to tone it down, because it was to overpowering and was making it hard to here the vocals and other instruments in the song.

Mix Two:

Unfortunately there was a problem with uploading the song onto soundcloud or YouTube. This was due to copyright, so I was unable to upload the song. I will show below the original (unedited) version of the song which I found on YouTube. I also have screen shots below to prove that I did mix and edit the song.

Below is he original version of the song that I mixed.

 Below is a screenshot of the song that I was mixing in Cubase.

Below is a screen shot of me using the mixer for the song. There were 5 different recorded vocal tracks for this song and some of them were to loud or to quiet. I resolved this problem by selecting all the vocal audio tracks and putting them into one group. I then adjusted the overall sound volume for that group (vocals only) so that all the vocals came out at the same volume and quality as each other. This got rid of the overlapping of the vocals and improved the quality in general.

The screenshot below shows me changing the pitch (using the equalizer tool) for the lead vocals of the song. This incredibly helped and made the vocals much more easily heard. I repeated this method for the other vocal tracks within the song.

Mix Three:

Soundcloud wasn't uploading the song, so instead i have uploaded the song onto my YouTube channel. The mixed song (by me) is shown below.

Below is a screen shot showing the the song opened up in Cubase.

Below is a screenshot showing the mixer for the song. I toned down the sound for the instruments (especially the guitar sounds) because they were so loud that it was ruining the quality of the sound. It was also making it nearly impossible to hear the vocals, which made me turn up the volume for the vocals slightly to make it easily heard over the instrumental sounds.

Below is a screenshot of me using the equalizer tool to tone up the sound and volume for the vocals to make them louder and higher in quality. Originally the vocals were terrible (you couldn't even hear them over the instruments).
