What is the mixing process?
A. After all your tracks are recorded, then comes time to decide how each track will appear in the final mix. Louder, softer, tonal characteristics, effects, how a part will build throughout the song… all these (and more) are decisions to be made for each and every track. The more tracks you have the longer you should expect a mixdown to take. And remember, with todays mixing capabilities, even the finest details can be addressed, from minimizing a single breath to tuning up a phrase that didn’t quite make it to pitch.
