The Stairways to Mixing Heaven’: Designs for the Optimisation of Creative Mixing Practices in Popular Music Record Production ‘The Stairways to Mixing Heaven’: Designs for the Optimisation of Creative Mixing Practices in Popular Music Record Production S706200 Brendan Anthony (Dip. MusTech, Griffith; Grad. Cert. Higher Ed., Griffith) Email: [email protected] A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the award of Master of Music. Abstract As music technology ever develops, so too the creative practices and sonic outcomes of popular music productions evolve in response. This project therefore investigates the ways in which user-led system design informs the author’s practice as a recording studio mix engineer and as co-creator of popular music recordings. The dissertation details a two-year study into the Stairways mixing preparation framework developed by the author. Stairways will be tested for its suitability to design personalised mixing systems with a view to achieving optimum creative results for various musical styles. The study documents the creation of mixes for eight original pieces of music, as written by six artists /bands, and where this development has been traced to provide a number of interpretations as 18 tracks on an accompanying CD portfolio. This compares the original artist ‘rough’ mixes with further insights into the application of digital and hybrid analogue systems. This project is situated within the field of professional practice and therefore draws upon a range of literature including scholarly texts, trade magazines, popular music press, practitioner interviews and weblogs. A mixed method research design employs the author’s multi-decade experience as a mix professional and educator via a practice-based approach to detail the processes involved in the creation of the original music in question. This is situated within three action research cycles that progress the design by detailing the insights gained from each recording session as they progress over time and where various emergent sonic and creative phenomenon are examined. The dissertation is supported by a detailed series of appendices to present technical approaches, reflective journal entries and philosophical considerations for how to approach a given mix. The dissertation concludes with an assessment of the Stairways process, an offering of deeper insights into overall design for mixing popular music and suggestions as to how both mix professionals and students alike might benefit in light of their own settings and/or experience. More centrally, the findings and conclusions return to explore the author’s own changed thinking and artistic knowledge in relation to the evolving processes that have been explored and developed throughout. i Table of Contents List of Figures .............................................................................................................. v List of Tables ............................................................................................................... v Certification ................................................................................................................ vi Chapter One: Introduction ........................................................................................ 1 Locating the research ........................................................................................................... 3 The ‘stairways’ to mixing heaven ................................................................................... 4 The mixer’s imagery, creative practice and ‘sonic footprint’ .............................................. 5 Research questions ............................................................................................................... 7 Research methods ................................................................................................................ 7 1.

  • 1974 Tour with the Band
    BOB DYLAN / THE BAND (a collectors guide to the 74 Tour) BOB DYLAN / THE BAND - a collectors guide to the 74 Tour “There are two problems with the 1974 tour: the tapes are crap and Dylan‟s performances are crap.” – C. Heylin, Telegraph 32 pg 86. Introduction This booklet / File (like the anonymous companion volume “Songs of the Underground” for RTR) is intended to document the audio resources available to collectors concerning the 1974 tour with the Band. It is intended to supplement and possibly correct the three major resources available to collectors (Krogsgaard, Dundas & Olof‟s files). Several PA tapes have emerged since Krogsgaard was last updated, and (I believe) there are errors in Dundas (concerning the PA tapes from 11 Feb 1974) that I wished to address. Additionally, none of these references (except for one full listing in Krogsgaard) include the Band sets. While details are difficult to obtain, I have included details of about three- quarters of the Band sets. It is hoped that readers on the web may contribute more information. I believe that the Band was a significant contributor to the 1974 Tour and should be included in any 1974 Tour documentation. I have also identified the sources for the Vinyl and CD bootlegs, where my resources allowed. Often the attributions on Bootlegs are misleading, incomplete or wrong. As an example „Before and After the Flood‟ claims to be from MSG NYC 30.1.1974 when it is actually a combination of the PA tapes from 31.1.74 (evening) and 11.2.74 (evening).

Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

  • Equalization
    CHAPTER 3 Equalization 35 The most intuitive effect — OK EQ is EZ U need a Hi EQ IQ MIX SMART QUICK START: Equalization GOALS ■ Fix spectral problems such as rumble, hum and buzz, pops and wind, proximity, and hiss. ■ Fit things into the mix by leveraging of any spectral openings available and through complementary cuts and boosts on spectrally competitive tracks. ■ Feature those aspects of each instrument that players and music fans like most. GEAR ■ Master the user controls for parametric, semiparametric, program, graphic, shelving, high-pass and low-pass filters. ■ Choose the equalizer with the capabilities you need, focusing particularly on the parameters, slopes, and number of bands available. Home stereos have tone controls. We in the studio get equalizers. Perhaps bet- ter described as a “spectral modifier” or “frequency-specific amplitude adjuster,” the equalizer allows the mix engineer to increase or decrease the level of specific frequency ranges within a signal. Having an equalizer is like having multiple volume knobs for a single track. Unlike the volume knob that attenuates or boosts an entire signal, the equalizer is the tool used to turn down or turn up specific frequency portions of any audio track . Out of all signal-processing tools that we use while mixing and tracking, EQ is probably the easiest, most intuitive to use—at first. Advanced applications of equalization, however, demand a deep understanding of the effect and all its Mix Smart. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 36 Mix Smart possibilities. Don't underestimate the intellectual challenge and creative poten- tial of this essential mix processor.

  • Quick Profile the Ultimate HIIT—Teaching with Perceived Exertion
    Quick Profile The Ultimate HIIT—Teaching with Perceived Exertion Quick Profile created by: Jennifer Sage Length: 60 minutes Profile objective: High-Intensity Intervals, Education about Perceived Exertion This high-intensity interval profile is a very effective training session as well as the perfect opportunity to educate riders about perceived exertion and about the value of sufficient recovery. You will do five sets of efforts for different durations, each at slightly different intensities. There is ample recovery planned in between each effort. If you were to decrease the amount of recovery, riders might not be able to reach and maintain the desired intensity during the work intervals. The sets are as follows: ● Two 3-minute very hard efforts. This is called your TEST EFFORT. ● One 5-minute effort. On bikes with power meters, it would be about 20% lower than the initial 3-minute intervals and what would be close to a “threshold level” if you were measuring power or wearing a heart rate monitor. You coach this as a more sustainable but still challenging effort. ● Two 50-second very challenging efforts. ● Seven reps of 30 seconds very hard/60 seconds easy. The first four intervals are at 76 rpm; the second three are at 86 rpm. ● Two 10-second explosive power sprints, way above the test effort. ​ ​ Heart rate is not a good guide for high-intensity efforts of 3 minutes or less. Heart rate is very useful, however, for tracking recovery. If riders have heart rate monitors and zones to follow (zones from threshold testing, not the inaccurate maximum heart rate charts), the 5-minute effort would be right around lactate threshold.
