Mixing Audio

Mixing in Meiji Sampler happens at the channel level.

​

What this stage is for

Use the mixer to control:

• level
• stereo placement
• tone
• movement
• spatial depth
• ducking and sync behavior
• vintage emulation of iconic hardware

​

Core controls

• Tab moves focus to the mixer pane
• Left/Right (or h/l) select channels
• Up/Down (or k/j) adjust the active parameter
• Enter opens deeper channel detail controls

​

Core channel parameters

Every channel can include:

• gain
• saturation
• pan
• stereo width
• pitch
• HPF
• LPF
• reverb
• playback offset
• ASR-10 Boost
• SP-1200 filter
• RPM 45 mode
• sync
• ducking settings
• stem choice
• linked pad trigger
• choke group

​

Why mix late in the workflow

The fastest way to stay in flow is:

1. browse
2. assign
3. record
4. arrange
5. then shape tone and balance

If you over-mix too early, it slows down idea capture.

​

Good first moves

Start with:

• gain balance
• simple pan separation
• subtractive filtering
• light reverb

That gets you most of the way without overcomplicating the session.
