Stage 2 Counting Music Course 3 of 4

Mixing on the Phrase

Intermediate 8 lessons · 1 h 23 min

Counting is useless until you use it to decide when to bring the next record in. This is the difference between a mix that merely lines up and one that sounds deliberate - and it is what Ellaskins says will get you noticed by a club manager.

By the end of this course you will be able to

  • Choose the point in a phrase to bring the next track in
  • Mix so that the two tracks' phrases agree rather than fight
  • Avoid landing a vocal on top of another vocal
  • Cut in on time when a blend is not what the track wants
