Many Great Mixes Benefit From Natural Saturation From Analog Equipment Or Digital Emulation

To my fellow mixers, musicians and music producers,

It's true that there's never been a better time to learn how music production and mixing.

Gear's affordable and accessible, and information is abundant.

But yet, so many of us struggle to get the results we want from our mixes.

When it comes to mixing courses, EQ and compression are the most-talked-about processors. I believe saturation is equally important, especially in all-digital or mostly-digital systems.

And so I wrote Mixing With Saturation.

In fact, saturation has similarities to both EQ and compression: EQ in the way it adds harmonic content to the signal and compression in its natural soft-knee dynamic range reduction.

We're often taught that distortion should be avoided if at all possible, but the harmonic distortion caused by saturation opens up a world of warmth, presence, edge, grit, and even chaos (when pushed too far) to our mixes.

So, while saturation is often skipped over, I wanted to explain it clearly in its own volume of the 'Mixing With' series.

Saturation, whether a by-product of analog equipment or a conscious mix decision, is part of many great mixes

Saturating Common Elements

Find thought processes to consider when compressing common instruments.

Soft-Knee Compression

Discover how saturation causes soft-knee dynamic range compression and how to use it to your advantage in the mix.

And much, much more!

Saturation (and distortion) is often skipped over when learning about mixing, making it somewhat of a secret weapon for achieving professional-sounding mixes.

In Volume 5: Mixing With Saturation, you'll use a variety of different saturation types to add colour and interest to the mix elements, all while balancing the tracks for top-level results.
