If tension is too high to suggest it, wait a few minutes, but get it done. – Back to Top – ___________________________________ The Mixing Process: Q: What is the mixing process?
Basically, mixing is the art of blending all the sounds recorded for a song, adding any effects to them and producing a stereo recording out of them. For one common approach to mixing, the vocals are ‘soloed out’ and listened to first, they’re going to probably be the most prominent thing in the mix, so it’s a good starting point. Then the drums are brought in and worked on. This usully takes the longest time as they are the most complex instrument in the process. Then the bass is next to round out the rhythm section. Then everything else. Each track gets its particular sound down, effects are added, and general levels are set. Once the sound of each track is ‘dialed in’, the whole song is run through and listened to (over and over and over and over again) for any places where special tweaking attention is needed. Mixing is the most complicated step in the recording process and should be approached accordingly. DO NOT RUSH THIS PART OF THE PROCESS!! if you do, you will only be disappoi
