We put together a brief training that covers a totally new approach to music production. Well, you don’t need expensive gear or software to do that – you just need the right knowledge. I’m guessing you’re here because you want to make your mixes sound professional. Get industry-quality every time (steal this framework) So let’s dive into the hidden secrets of the all-coveted VU meter. They’re one step in getting that pro sound you’re chasing. Seriously, these things can be a game-changer for a DIY musician.
The first time I saw a board full of VU meters, I thought it looked like something you’d see inside a nuclear power plant.īut I never stopped to figure out what those tiny meters were… Or why they’re one of the best-kept secrets of the music industry. You see a band laughing with the producer, writing music behind the mixing board…Īnd the entire board is covered in yellow meters with big red needles. Ever seen those weird, old-timey meters in pictures of old studios?
