Basic principles of Music Mixing

Basic principles of Music Mixing

If you produce music, but it's hard for you to adjust the levels of your instruments (kick, snare, vocals); or your mixes lack clarity and impact, then you need to improve your music mixing techniques.

Mixing is an art that needs a fair amount of technical knowledge to be done correctly. A good mix combines all the recorded elements (instruments, vocals, etc.) in a balanced way, so each can be heard clearly and integrated.

A good mix is what differentiates a homemade production from a professional one!

Mixing engineers spend years experimenting and polishing several techniques to get the right balance, volume, good use of processors and effects.

Mixing without a solid guide and proven procedures can take a long way. Trying to do different things, but getting frustrated at the end. Mixing should be a creative and fun process! By using the proper procedures, you will be able to make better-sounding mixes in less time. This will make you more efficient, you'll make the right decisions at the right time and you'll enjoy the art of mixing!

In this course, you will learn the principles to create a good mix from the ground up.

We will start with basic concepts of the music production process, so you'll know the role of the mix, its limits and its potential. You'll learn concepts to manage the mix better and have better monitoring. You'll learn step-by-step proven procedures used by world-renowned mixing engineers (Benny Faccone, Dave Pensado, Chris Lord-Alge, Tony Maserati, etc.), to set the levels, panning, EQ, etc.

You will learn topics like:

• The music production process

• Monitoring criteria

• Level adjustment

• Panning considerations

• Applied EQ, compression, limiting, etc.
