Mixing EDM Tracks for Logic Pro X 1.0

Learn how to create power-pumping, crystal-clear dance mixes with Logic Pro X in this EDM mixing course by Mo Volans. Mixing electronic dance music requires the skills of a surgeon and artistry of a sculptor.

Mixing electronic music is tough! Electronic sounds, by their very nature, are extremely rich in harmonics. They share a lot of the same waveforms and transient characteristics and are often filtered and processed in similar ways. Unlike their acoustic cousins, electronic instruments inherently fight for the same, limited sonic space.

In this course, designed by Mo Volans, you learn tons of mixing tips to help you make all the sounds in your mixed track sound their best and achieve clarity via the use of EQ, compression, spatial tools and more.

As Mo continues to assemble the elements in his track, he also deploys dynamic-based techniques like parallel compression, side-chaining and M-S processing to further enhance, clarify and carve out space in the mix. See Mo’s track come to life as he explains his musical and technical thought processes all along the way.

So see how a pro pumps up the electronic music energy in this hands-on "Mixing EDM" course by our favorite tech-head electronic producer, Mo Volans.
