Drums were recorded using the mouse to trigger LM9 which is why the drum section is slightly off since I was listening and timing the hits with the computer mouse. Indeed the guitar tracks were recorded in less than 5 minutes, listening to the next and record the next, those are more closer together in 1 take there was no other takes. That guitar solo with the chorus in Jamvox being turned on and off shows how a chorus affects the track in real time, it is clear as day in OOPS mode but in Mono you can not tell a difference. OOPS in my opinion is the greatest free tool that anyone can use to their advantage. Mono is just to check for any tracks are are too far left or right. Record and mix in Stereo, but use OOPS to check where they truly sit within a mix. It's a strange way to mix as the overall volume is much lower of course, but to me simply can't record or mix without this method my ears are used to this type of mix hearing. Drums mixing, allows to position certain sections away from the middle, knowing that anything centered is not heard unless it has stereo effects on it. If someone sends you a track, you can listen to it in OOPS and see if any reverb is on it, as soon as youĬheck it in OOPS no sound means no reverb, delay or chorus, if you hear the track then it has reverb on it so you can then add reverb and adjust the level based on that amount already there. Tracks with stereo reverbs ( sends or in track itself) will had their middle remove and only the reverbs will be heard this is critical to see how much reverb there really is. So if you hear a BASS you know there is delay, chorus or reverb on it. Centered tracks with no reverb, delay or chorus are phased out ( not audible) You can hear if your vocal has too much reverb, how far it is in the mix without muting all the other tracks, it is an overall audio picture of your entire mix. It is an amazing way to mix as you are listening to a complete different way how the tracks sound ( since it's not in stereo). With OOPS on the master track you see an overall image of where all the tracks are in real time with all their FX on and hear basically which ones need to changed. Listening to the original U2- one on OOPS you can clearly see where the vocal is, where the drum sections are placed, where the guitar tracks are placed ( center, left or right), Synths location etc. OOPS allows you to check how much reverb your track has since when in OOPS if it is louder than the other tracks, and you intend to keep it in the center then you clearly know it has way too much reverb as it is louder even than the side tracks ( tracks panned a bit left or right) This is important for your own mixes as you can then stage your tracks properly which then when listening in mono are better mixed in context to how deep they sit ( reverb, delays, chorus).Īs you seen in the video the OOPS method allowed me to see that the Chorus in Jamvox when added sounded fuller on the guitar track but was messing with the mix, but this could not be checked in MONO only in Left - Right ( Mid only) When you listen in L-R ( Mid channel) you get to see where they put each track( center, left, right, which track has reverbs, delays and chorus. In order to understand how the Mix is setup you use the OOPS method and listen to the track being examined. If you listen to 80's and 90's music it is more centered and further back in the mix. This has severe advantages over mixing in Mono ( which is standard in mixing). The OOPS is basically having the Master mixer in Left - Right mode.
