Just like a painter who carefully chooses his colors and brushes to create his art, a mixer listens for the right balance between the many sonic elements that make up a piece of music to create an unforgettable listening experience. In this 40-video tutorial, Pro Tools "artiste" Mike Watkinson shows you how to create an aural masterpiece by using PT’s rich tool palette.

Mike begins his 40-video exploration with a deep dive into mixing, tracks and Pro Tools' unique Group features which helps break down and organize the various elements of your musical painting. He shows you how to create, activate and deactivate groups and how to manage the members of each group of tracks during the evolution of a mix.
