Mixing Strategy

The VCA fader in Samplitude Pro X2, whose usability and comfort is based on large analog mixing consoles, is natively integrated in the DAW. The VCA fader allows you to control all relevant levels when mixing your project. Each existing channel strip can be easily turned into a VCA fader.

The basics of bass, mid range and high frequencies, cut and boost, filtering and similarities to frequency response diagrams.

Enjoy,
