A lot of engineers never prepare themselves for mixing,
especially those who are just starting out in the industry. If you identify as
a newbie to sound creation and manipulation and have just finished a song and
want to mix it yourself, follow these steps!
-
Export all the tracks from your project; it’s
always great to work with stems in a fresh session.
-
Sort all the tracks and create groups and
subgroups for Bass, Drums, Synths, Percussions and so on.
-
Colour Code these groups, it is always a great
idea to locate the layers of your mix. Example, bass gets red, drums blue etc.
-
Create Sends for Reverb throws and Delays.
-
Create group tracks for Drums and other
instruments that way if you want to apply compression to the elements, it will
glue them together nicely.
-
Have a “DEMO” Mastering Chain ready, but disable
it when you send out your mix to a mastering engineer (this one is a kindness,
and will benefit the master).
