Check out the sweet sounds of independent singer songwriter Raelee Nikole, performing her song, “Dreamin‘” recorded and mixed on the TouchMix-8:
The TouchMix is the perfect mixer for recording and mixing the audio for live performance videos. It enables you to record and mix your songs and then import your final mixed stereo file directly into your video-editing software such as iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premier. Vegas, etc. Or if you prefer, your can import the multi-tracks recorded by the TouchMix directly into your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and mix it there. Either way the TouchMix makes it easy.
Here’s a step by step process of how the audio was recorded and mixed for Raelee’s video:
- Connect inputs (microphones, instruments) to TouchMix and set your input levels.
Raelee’s inputs: Input 1 – Mic (vocals), Input 2 – Mic (guitar), Input 3 – direct instrument via DI box. - Adjust your preamp input gain levels and/or use TouchMix’s Gain Wizard to help set your input levels.
- Connect your hard drive to the TouchMix, create a new session from the Record/Playback page, “arm” the tracks, press record and record the song while shooting video with one or more cameras.
- Playback the recorded tracks through TouchMix and create your mix. You can start by loading Channel Presets and using the Effects Wizard to add reverb and delay.

7. Edit and render your video then upload to your website or YouTube for your fans to enjoy!
