[. . . ] With the right amount of compression you'll be able to clearly hear whispered passages while passionate shouts are still well balanced in the mix. Compression can also be valuable on bass guitar, producing a smooth bass sound that stays solid through the tune. Compression can also be applied to guitar tracks to add extra sustain. Too much compression can be a cause of feedback, however, so use it sparingly. Music First--Then Mix In any case, the music comes first. Think about the music and let it guide the mix, rather than trying to do things the other way around. What is the music saying and what instrument or technique is being used to drive the message?That's where the focus of your mix should be. You're using a high-tech tool to do the mixing, but the mix itself is as much art as the music. Approach it that way and your mixes will become a vital part of the music. 18 EMX5016CF Owner's Manual Reference Reference Front & Rear Panels Controls on Each Channel Channels 1 to 8 (Monaural) Channels 9/10 to 15/16 (Stereo) 1 INPUT A and INPUT B Jacks (Channels 1 to 8) You can connect an input source to either jack.
