Getting Started
Mixing the Radio Spot
Now letÕs go to the Console view and Þnish the project. WeÕll apply real-
time audio effects to the announcer track, then automate the faders in
real time.
Preparing the Console
Before starting, let's make sure that the Console view is set up correctly.
Applying Real-Time Audio Effects
It's quite simple to apply real-time effects to a track. Let's add a small
amount of equalization to the announcer track.
Play the project to hear what it sounds like. You can continue to adjust
the effect while the project plays; there is a slight delay before your
adjustments are audible.
At this point, we are nearly Þnished; all that's left is to balance the mix.
