Week 12 was all about Pro Tools and basic mixing skills on the recording desk.

Monday session was spent learning about how to send the recorded tracks in Pro Tools back to the mixing desk and then do a basic mix that can later be bounced down to a CD or even sent back to Pro Tools again.

While the mixing desk does’t have quite as comprehensive EQ as Pro Tools, it is good enough to achieve perfectly reasonable sound if you know what you’re doing. I really enjoyed the session as I would prefer to mix using hardware rather than software because I find it more satisfying to work with hardware than software when it comes to things such as recording and mixing.
