Steinberg Internal Mixing Tutorial [2 DVD] [Multilanguage]

Steinberg is pleased to announce that it is distributing the Internal Mixing serries of tutorial DVD-ROMs. Internal Mixing is an essential resource for disk recording application users who do their mixing mainly inside their workstation. It provides hands-on strategies using computers to make powerful, clear and perfectly balanced mixes and explains how to create them without using expensive outboard equipment. Internal Mixing supports English, French, Spanish and German languages.

With more than 160 minutes of video in Volume I and over 180 minutes of video on Volume II, Internal Mixing covers tried and tested methods for achieving that often elusive sound known from professionally produced CDs and DVDs. Covering a huge range of issues surrounding mixes, Internal Mixing offers valuable imnsights into topics such as native and DSP-based plug-ins, the concepts behind positioning instruments and voices within a three dimensional sound field, frequency spaces, optimized mixing workflow and much, much more.
