5 Tips for Mixing Pads and Synths for a Full, Clear Sound

Музыка

Pads can be used in music to fill empty spaces, glue together different elements, or even help to support vocals and strings. But sometimes it can be tricky trying to mix them with added reverbs and delays that can muddy up your mix. Follow along as ‪@IAMLXGEND‬ shares how to mix pads to get a full and clearly defined sound in your mix with iZotope Neutron and Ozone.

    Great video. I wish you hadn't skimmed over how you set up the ozone imager

    I like to use an exciter sometimes to add ''air'' on pads and mixes. Instead of adding EQ. What you said about width is cool too. I listen to old electro masters like Drexciya and sometimes they'll have a pad in mono panned on one side. I really like this. Small pads that don't take too much space as opposed to the wide immersive type of pad.

    Great tips. I also like to use the EQ in mid side mode to separately EQ the side. A high pass filter along with a high shelf bump is usually where I start. It gives a widening effect that I can use to accent a chorus for a subtle effect, or set it that way for the whole song.

    Huge help! I make ambient so every stem, is basically some eort if a pad. Resonance is my biggest challenge. Its essential for creating rich dreamy evolving oads but resonance can really get blurred in a mix. EQ us not always the answer because eqing often kills the character of rhe resonance. Its a balancing act.

    Compressors and limiters can help tame that resonance without losing the gist of the sound.
