LF contributions from instruments such as basses will stand out more readily on smaller reproduction systems Programme treated with this process will produce louder sounds on all reproduction equipment and in particular it will produce unsuspected volume and power from small domestic and portable systems 2 6 Mixing with the Oxford Inﬂator The Inﬂator can bring added beneﬁt to the mixing process i...
