Mixing Start To Finish: A Step by Step Guide to Balanced Mixes
In this video, I turned the camera on while mixing to show you the steps I took to get a balanced mix. I use an approach called “Top-Down Mixing“ where I start by setting a static mix before adding effects and automating. These techniques can be applied when mixing many types of music. Feel free to ask me any questions about these methods in the comments below.
►The song is called “You“ by The Workday Release. Listen to the final mix here on YouTube:
The final mix was done by Andy Toy (@andytoymusic), a brilliant engineer and mixer. I am using the stems in this video because I wanted to try my hand at the mix too.
