Monitor mix practical: Demonstrate the configuration of a monitor mix in a DAW

LESSON 3 ASSIGNMENTDemonstrate the configuration of a monitor mix in a DAW

HI

•My name is Constant

• I’m 27

• From France

• I have a very slow internet so I can’t upload video but I will try to entertain you with this keynote.

I created a simple project with a mix of MIDI and real

Instruments

First we want to select the tracks we need in our monitor

Hold Shift and click to select multiple tracks

Then we send our tracks to a bus

If all your tracks are selected you just need to select bus 1 on your first track and all the other tracks will

automatically get bus 1 too

Since we are setting monitoring mixes we need to set the sends to pre-fader we

want to have independent mixes

Right click on a bus a choose pre-fader

I can also set all our gains to unity by holding the option key and clicking on one knob next to bus 1

You can see that a new track was created. It’s our Bus 1

We need to pick an output for this new mix

I have 8 outputs on my audio interface so I chose output 3-4

This will create a new track

You should take the habit to rename

your tracks

We can now set our levels the way we want

We can repeat the process to create as many mixes as your audio interface has outputs

I created two other monitor

Final project with 3 monitoring mixes and all the gains set
