Mixing
"Mixing" is the process of adjusting the volume, tone, and pan of each channel to create the overall
balance. In an actual recording studio, mixing consoles with many faders and knobs are used to
adjust the volume balance of each channel and apply effects.

The basic function of the mixer is to mix together a variety of audio sources such as sound from the
mics, audio from the video tape, CD, and cassette tape to combine them into a final mix.
As an example, here's how to mix the sounds from a music CD and a cassette tape.
1.
Turn the input level knobs (GAIN), master volume fader, monitor volume knob, and
headphone volume knob to their minimum positions.
2.
Connect your CD player to line input jacks 3/4 (CH 3/4).
3.
Connect your cassette tape recorder to line input jacks 5/6 (CH 5/6).
Adjust the volume of the cassette tape recorder.
4.
Connect your monitor speakers to the monitor output jacks. Alternatively, connect your
headphones to the headphone jack.
Now you can hear the sound you will be mixing.
Adjust the following volumes.
Headphones ........................... Headphone volume knob
Monitor speakers................... Monitor volume knob
5.
If you want to record the sound you are mixing, connect your recording device to the master
output jacks or the digital output jack.
6.
Use the input level faders of each channel to adjust the volume.
Raising the input level fader will increase the volume, and lowering it will decrease the volume.
Adjust the input level faders of each channel to create an appropriate balance.
You can slowly raise a fader upward from the minimum position to create a "fade-in", or slowly
lower a fader to the minimum position to create a "fade-out".
You can create natural-sounding transitions between sounds by fading-in and fading-out.
fig.HINT
In this example, you can create a gradual transition from the sound of the CD to the sound of the
cassette tape by fading-in CH 3/4 while fading-out CH 5/6.
