Motif City Tutorial: Essential Mixing for Motif Songs & Patterns

You've got some chops, you can find yourself around the Motif pretty well,  and you've even become a decent producer with the Motif's sequencer. But for some reason your completed songs and patterns are lacking something. Maybe they lack warmth, or punch, or width (fatness)? Or maybe they sound good in your, e.g., iPod, but terrible in your, e.g., car. Or maybe you can't get the bass guitar to stand out and really fill out the bottom end? Or what about that piano? Does it always seem to get lost in the background?

If you're experiencing any of these problems, I've got good news for you: the Yamaha Motif has all the basic mix-enhancing tools you need to create a good sounding mix that solves the majority of the problems I stated above. It's just a matter of knowing where they are, and how to use them. In this tutorial we will be covering tools such as: Panning, effects send levels, part EQ, and basic compression--all of which are absolutely critical in achieving a good mix for your Yamaha Motif songs and patterns....
