AUDIO SAMPLES
This song*, “Ninja” by Nimble Tailors, features interchanging mixes done completely “in the box” with Pro Tools Ultimate and with two different settings in HEAT. Download the video (right click to save file) and take a listen through your best headphones or speakers to hear how HEAT shapes the mix.
* The song source files were recorded in Pro Tools Ultimate at 96 kHz, 24-bit resolution, and features all acoustic instruments, vocals, and one virtual instrument—Xpand!. We mixed the song in Pro Tools Ultimate using an ICON D-Command ES console, bussed to internal stem tracks, and then to a final stereo track with the McDSP ML4000 ML1 mastering limiter. We then dithered it down to 16-bit resolution and converted the sample rate to 48 kHz for the video.
