Your music should be heard! This introduction to film mixing is aimed at the beginner who has been developing their skills mixing their own music, but now wants to upgrade their knowledge for a film and television workflow. Best practices for mixing and delivering music for film are explored, including film specific templates, organizing stems, using bus compression and advanced limiter techniques to create industry standard mixes that can compete with dialogue and effects, and exploit multichannel sound.

At the beginner level, particular emphasis is placed on the basics of compression, eq and reverb in a cinema context. Mixing successfully with headphones and starter systems is addressed as well. If you are new to music mixing in general and want to up your game, then this beginner class is for you!

The SCGC is proud to have joined a coalition of Canadian screen sector organizations, led by the Canadian Media Producers Association - CMPA in support of Canadian cultural sovereignty. The CMPA published an ad in The Globe and Mail on Saturday on behalf a coalition that represents tens of thousands of Canadians working across Canada’s audiovisual sector. The ad thanked Prime Minister Mark Carney, Canada’s negotiating team, the federal government, premiers, provincial governments and political parties of all stripes for protecting Canadian cultural sovereignty in recent trade talks.

The ad follows Ottawa’s rejection of U.S. demands to weaken Canadian content requirements for streaming services and reinforces the importance of rules supporting streamer contributions to Canadian content, discoverability of Canadian programs and protections for French-language programming.
