The premise of Mix-Minus: provide each participant with the same master mix minus their own voice. But, when your guests are not all in the same room, mostly because of the delay of the Internet, if you let them all listen to the same rough-mix, each participant will hear themselves in a slight delay, just slight enough to drive them crazy.
Typically, you can just let them all hear the same rough mix that you are listening to while recording.
When all your guests are in the same room, all you need in order to have a conversation is making sure that they all can hear each other, and whatever music/SFX you are playing to them all. What is a Mix-Minus, and why do I need it?
#Using komplete 11 select with logic pro x how to#
I assume you already know how to do this, so I will not dive into details on this part. If all your guests are located in the same recording studio, you can do this quite easily by routing each guest’s microphone into a separate channel, and off you go. Let’s start with “ what” is a mix-minus, then go to the why we need it, and finally, we’ll dive into the how! What is a Multi-track recordingĪ multi-track recording is what DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) are all about, record your multiple sources of audio on separate tracks, so that you can edit them individually, then mix them together, and master them into a single stereo mix and finally bounce your mix into a ready-to-share MP3 file. Also, I’m writing this in November 2020, about ~10 months into the COVID-19 pandemic, where remote recording is needed more than before, now that so many people are preferring to stay remote and record from home! The Theory on One Leg I also learned a few tricks since then and I found ways to make this process a bit easier. You can skip to the “ how-to” section if you think you understand Mix-Minus and only care about the step-by-step instructions, but I would argue that even if you think you understand it, you want to read the theory part first, because, and I say it from personal experience, this mix-minus remote-recording process is confusing!!! If you first read my theoretical part, at least the how-to part will be easier to follow because it will use the same “language”.Įditorial note: I originally posted this blog back in mid-2018, but since then Loopback by Rogue Amoeba, which this solution depends on, was updated to version 2.x that was not compatible with the original writeup. My Promise to you: by the time you are done reading this blog, you will (i) understand what is a “mix-minus” configuration, and (ii) be able to configure it using Logic (Pro) X on your Mac. Well, hopefully, this is your last stop on this Google rabbit hole. a Mix-Minus setup…”, but after hours of Googling, I didn’t find my answer. This blog post was created because, just like you, at one point I wanted to record a multi-track podcast with remote guests.
