[@dawggonevidz9140]

Best tip I ever got, from a sound mixer in a TV studio in fact, was a very simple, zero cost one. Turn your volume down so you can barely hear your mix and listen again. Anything that's too far forward or to far back in the mix will stick out like dog's nuggs. First time you do it and say "hey, where did those high hats go?" you'll see how valuable it is.

[@EDMTips]

Absolutely, that's a great tip indeed!

Great tips. I want to add something extra. If you’re not sure the EQ (or other effect) improves the track or not, place your mouse on the bypass button, close your eyes and repeat the on/off until you don’t know when it’s on or off and choose the setting that sounds best (with your eyes closed). Also make sure that if you apply any processing, that the output level is the same as it is without the effect plug-in. Don’t rely too much on the analyzer. Yes it’s good to put one on the master bus but let your ears do most of the job. If it sounds good, it is good. Last tip and probably the most important one: mix at a low volume. Our brain works in such a way that we define louder sound as better, which is not always the case. Another benefit of mixing at low volume is that it’s easier to balance each channel inside your track. It also prevents hearing damage in the long run. Keep in mind that your ears are the most important tools you have as a music producer! So how loud should you be mixing at? A good rule of thumb is between 75 and 85 dB SPL A weighted. You can measure the SPL with a dedicated hardware SPL meter. You can also download a free or paid decibel meter on your smartphone.

Be prepared to lie to client, they are often right but cannot communicate what they want and will go Into long winded metaphors to make simple requests, sometimes they are just rebeling and trying to take control back from you. Test them by A/B ing between before and after alteration, but with no difference. They will often make a decision and be happy long enough to finish whatever you need to finish- works better if their away from the console or desk.

@@EDMTips Can you do a series on Rock based mixing ? i think it would expand your audience and would be interesting to see what elements would be changed and why

[@AaronWOfficial]

great tips but I want to add something extra. Putting reverb on an aux\send\bus isn't just about giving more control, there is a more detailed way to explain it (albeit a bit longer, but its stuff you should know). It also leaves the dry signal completely unaffected. For example, lets say I had a lead sound that cuts through the mix very nice, loud and prominent. If I was to put a reverb straight onto the lead, the more reverb I add the less the lead will cut through the mix, the less loud and prominent it will be because the dry signal becomes lower the more reverb I add. If whoever is reading this ever dj'd before, its similar to how a crossfader works on a mixer. dry/wet is basically a crossfader between the reverb and the dry signal. Most professional dj's don't touch the crossfader at all they just leave it centered, and they instead use the track faders to mix in and out because it gives them more control. The same principle applies with routing send fx to a new channel versus using them as an insert. If I put a reverb on my track, it will make the dry signal lower. If I turn up my track to compensate for the loss in dry volume, it will make the reverb too loud. I may try balancing the wet/dry signal again to be more dry, but then the dry signal will become too loud. And it becomes an infinite loop of trying to get it to sound right but it will never sound as good as using the reverb on a send because I can fine tune how it sounds more accurately this way. Reverbs are send effects, there is a reason why they are listed under this category. They are not supposed to be insert effects, they are supposed to be sent on a bus. Insert effects are for example compressors, limiters, eq and so on. Stuff that doesn't add extra elements to a sound, but instead modifies the signal. Knowing the difference between insert effects and send effects you should consider to be mixing basics. What to send, and what not to send you should already know. If you don't know, you should google around difference between insert and send effects and try to get it stuck into your head which are inserts and which are sends. Anything that is insert put it straight on your channel, anything that is send you route to a new channel (send\aux\bus). As a general rule of thumb the way to think about an effect you want to add is "how does this effect my sound?" Anything that has a dry/wet knob, is usually a send effect. Unless there is some bizarre insert plugin that has dry/wet knob that I have not seen (I have tried many, literally never seen it) consider this to be 100% accurate. Chorus - duplicates the sound into multiple voices, and detunes them to play at different semitones to add width to the sound, has a dry/wet knob. send fx obviously Reverb - adds reverb to a sound, if you dunno what reverb is the simplest explanation is it simulates what the sound would be like in certain environments. e.g you can have room reverbs, hall reverbs, cathedral reverbs etc. has a dry/wet knob. send fx obviously Delay - adds delay to a sound, think of delay as you are in a cave and you shout "HEY!" (basically echo, but not exactly since echo can also refer to reverb as well). You hear yourself saying Hey hey hey hey (dipping in volume until you cannot hear it anymore). That is basically what it does. has a dry/wet knob. send fx obviously Compressor - modifies the sound so that it stays at a consistent level of volume, does not have a dry/wet knob. insert fx obviously Limiter - modifies the sound so that it never peaks above a certain level of volume, does not have a dry/wet knob. insert fx obviously If you start thinking about it like this, it becomes very obvious which fx you should have on a send channel and which you shouldn't. But you could go 1 step further and research which are inserts and which are sends, and get that stuck into your head. The majority of you probably know this already, but there is bound to be some beginners here that don't and that is the purpose of this comment

[@iamdwsm]

Extremely usable advice. I applied a handful of the tips that were new to me to a melodic techno track I''m working on and it's night and day, multiple level ups in a 24 hour period. 1) A little saturation everywhere is a game changer 2) Use those effects busses! All of a sudden it sounds like you're in one space with all the instruments, immediately glues the track together a bit, especially a touch of reverb on everything, subtle, even the kick, and 3) mix more quietly for later mastering, throw a Utility on the master channel and give it +6db of gain, mix to 0 db and then turn the utility off for mastering to give me 6db of headroom. Great stuff, thank you!

i've done mixing in mono a lot, and sometimes i even forget that it's mono and it sounds great until i realise, that i haven't yet tried to listen to stereo mix. it blew my mind how clean and full everything sounds. so yeah, mixing in mono is a great way to relax your ears and balance volumes/frequencies. also it's a good way to check if there are some crazy wide sounds, that lose a lot of punch in mono. also one of the reasons i think mono is important is because people sometimes tend to play songs on mono devices (like a phone speaker for example).

I actually accidentally exported my track in mono to send to some other artists for feedback. They said it sounded really flat. And then when I looked back in my DAW I was like well no wonder... it's in mono lol.

[@djjuno106]

One of the best tips I ever got was from My mate who was one of the main engineers who did loads of the biggest rave tracks.. He said when I’m doubt turn your computer monitor off ,restart your arrangement and you’ll feel the flow of the track better .. he used too have a note pad and write which parts needed changing and at what time..he also taught me that you know if a tracks working if listening back the track sounds like it doesn’t sound like it drags,if it sounds like it’s ended quick yet it’s been on 4 minutes you know your onto a winner.

[@garrapato]

this is the best documentation in the world about mixing ever produced

[@fruitproof115]

That's a great list! From my personal experience I would like to add two things that really helped me: 1) Checking certain frequency bands on their own For example applying a filter to the master to only hear frequencies below 70-90 Hz - so only the low end. Or only the mid bass section from like 90 - 300 Hz. And also comparing that to the same frequency range on the reference tracks. This is also helpful for peak matching with the reference tracks. 2) Being aware of the signal flow and the effect sequence If you roll of low frequencies with an EQ and then put on saturation afterwards, you introduce new (probably unwanted) low frequencies to your sound. Or if you put a sidechain compression on a sound to let the kick cut threw the mix and then put on a reverb afterwards, the reverb again fills the space you wanted to create.

[@EDMTips]

Very, very important additions!!

[@Natterdarmus]

the first one is basically what he does with the mixchecker, its just different EQ presets you can switch fast

[@caincade8252]

Sidechain to the reverb on vocals is really a good thing. I was wondering for years why my vocals so lost and not in front. This technique with low cutting reverb is hugh.

I think reference tracks and high-quality monitoring are absolutely key. I remember being at music college and referencing my deep house track in 2013 against a Skrillex track at the time on Genelecs. It made me change so many aspects of the track and then quite amazingly the track went to BBC 1Xtra track of the week.

[@antoniomejia3199]

2 Questions 1: Do you do the entire mixdown process in mono? Or just flip between stereo & mono while mixing each instrument/group? 2: Do you recommend bouncing tracks to stems, then reimporting into a new mixdown project file?

[@Jupiter1423]

I can chime in here because i have the answer youre looking for. 1. You will address the mono situation BEFORE you start your mixdown. Put a utility on the master and put your tune in mono. At this point use ONLY the faders to balance your song until it sounds right in mono. Remember, do not use any processing. Now turn your utility off - my guess is your track will sound weird because now the sides now sound out of balance. You can turn your utility up to 200% to solo the sides but at this point itll be time to use either an m/s gain plugin or to go into the synths themselves to start balancing the sides so their in sync with the mids/mono. One way youll know when its time to actually start the mixdown is the tune at this point should sound really solid on its own. As you start mixing just remember that every time you make a mixing decision to just flip the utility to mono, then check the sides solo, then listen in normal stereo. It sounds like a lot but i cant tell u how much time youre actually saving when you get disiplined at this. 2. If you got the cpu man dont bounce shit. If you dont got the cpu then do what u gotta do but its always easier to freeze than to bounce in case u need to get back to the original source.

For me, the biggest game changer in my mixing was understanding proper "gain-staging". That should be and is the very first thing I do after tracking or importing audio sources. I prefer to use the older method with a VU meter in average mode over using peak metering. In addition, ensuring that your levels remain the same "unity" at input through to output as you add effect chains to channels. Next was the power of "bussing" or "grouping" in Ableton Live. Bussing with return effects like compression, saturation or reverb helped to glue track elements together in the overall mix. And as Will stated, investing in a good "Reference Track" plugin so you can compare what you're doing against a commercial track was paramount for me.

[@kquossinvestments]

WOW!!! Incredible. I’ve been mixing tracks for a long time and quite frankly thought I was pretty damn decent at it. You made my day with these tips. I get lost in the mixing abyss quite often because I work at 12hr factory job and kids. Nothing crazy, but its hard to get my studio mojo going in my limited creative time slot. Your set of rules will be my anchor to move everything forward. thanks!
