MIXING PRACTICE SESSIONS

Power up your mixing skills with focused mixing practice.  If you want to practice mixing in the studio or live, download some tracks right now to get started! These are also a great way to show off your playing skills by putting yourself on new tracks and mixing yourself in with the band.

MULTI-TRACK

Pre-recorded practice sessions are a great way to develop your skills for mixing (and playing), and can help you build your mix portfolio. Learning to mix with band tracks allows you to work on your vocal mixing skills, but also drums, guitars, bass, and assorted keys, sound effects, and backing vocals too. These tracks were professionally recorded in a recording studio. Many of these songs are on CDs and digital releases, and have been made available to you for mixing practice.

PRACTICE MIXING

Use these tracks to practice your techniques like compressing and EQ’ing bass, gating drums, drum replacement, tuning vocals, whatever you want to be really good at. These tracks are also good for live sound PA checks.

Build your portfolio and show off your mixing skills using tracks produced by professionals, with good players to help you sound your best. We encourage you to practice as much as you can. Just download, unzip, and import the wave files into your DAW.

PUT YOURSELF IN THE MIX

If you are a player or singer, add yourself on a new track.  You can record (overdub) yourself playing with the band then mix yourself in with the band. Your portfolio could include you playing with Pat Travers, Rocket 88, or any of the other bands listed below!

If you’d like to lay tracks with the band or practice mixing, here’s your chance. These songs range from Rockabilly to Hard Rock to Metal to Country to Blues, and some that aren’t so easily categorized.

RAW TRACKS WORK WITH ANY DAW

These are the raw band tracks from the actual sessions, and typically include drums, bass, guitar, vocals, and other instruments ready for import into your favorite DAW. There is a detailed track list on the product page for each session.

The tracks are standard wave files, and work with all DAWs (Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic, MixBus, Sonar, Studio One, etc.), Mac and PC (or anything else that can read wave files). There are free programs you can use for mixing, so use one you like, and start mixing.
