I’m trying to get some mixing practice in. Currently messing with the concept of complimentary EQs on similar-sounding, hard-panned tracks. As I sweep the EQ, I find myself wanting to hear the track a bit louder and panned in the center just to avoid fatigue and hear more detail. I’ve found the Bypass button on the panner, but is there also a way to get a bit more volume on the track without messing up where my faders are set?
If you’re just starting out I heartily recommend setting aside just a bit of time to learn the Control Room. SOS had a fantastic 2-article review, more than enough to get started with: Control Room
Though it does so much more than the Listen Bus, that function alone is worth the price of admission. And free EBU monitoring as well!
