Audio Effects Explained (Includes Audio Samples

Pro Sound Web: A while ago I mentioned using modulation effects to help create movement within a mix. Here, I’ll explain the different types of modulation effects that we have available for mixing, and then move along to gates, compression, EQ, delay, reverb, de-essing, and a whole lot more.

Though this article is very long I found it to be very informative. As someone looking to eventually have a career in Audio Engineering I find these articles that give tips on mixing to be very useful. In my past mixing experiences I have picked up using things like Reverb and other effects from engineers that I have worked with or shadowed. Often times I would employ these tactics in my mix without really knowing why just knowing that I like the sound that they produce. I find this article to explain not only why I use these but other ways of using them. One thing that I wish this article included was a clip of the clean noise to compare to the one with the effect on it.
