Mixing Fundamentals
Having a solid mix foundation is essential to a great mix.
During the session we will discuss letting the song dictate your processing choices, organization, routing and the initial processing techniques that will set you up for a successful mix
Framing your mix
Here we find the focal point of the mix. We will discuss how to place the elements around the focal point so that they can sit in their proper space. Using various processes we can make sure everything is supporting the focal point.
EQ, Reverb, Compression & More FX
Here is where we can create those amazing textures that can separate your mixes from everyone else’s. We will discuss vocal fx chains as well creating custom spaces for the various instruments to get that depth of field we all look for.

Meet Frank Socorro
Grammy-Nominated Mixing Engineer & Producer
Frank started his audio career in the early 2000's working in the Miami area recording the diverse styles that occur in a city that’s developed into the melting pot it is today. During that time an opportunity to work on a Bad Boy project put him on a fast track that led to him working with artists such as Mary J Blige, Lenny Kravitz and Lauryn Hill. Eventually he would land a position as head engineer for super producer Salaam Remi. This new position brought a wider range of projects from Nas and Cee-Lo to major motion picture work for Rush Hour and Sex and the City. Along the way came 5 GRAMMY nominations and several gold and platinum plaques. He currently operates his own studio while working with the future of audio at the SAE Miami campus.

The only thing you absolutely need to attend the session is a computer, a good pair of headphones, a web browser and a D.A.W. of your choice.
Frank uses Pro Tools in this seminar, but you ‘ll be able to apply the concepts he teaches within any DAW. If you’re already comfortable with a DAW, we encourage you to stick with that.
Once you’re in the seminar, we’ll let you know some of the other optional but nice-to-have gear like plug-ins and outboard gear.
What song will be used for the seminar?
