Chapter 12 "Mix Theory" - Posted on 2016-11-13 by Bryan Tyler

In this chapter I learned what the mixing process entails and how to prepare for it effectively. You can prepare for a mix by file management, labeling, markers, color coding, renaming your busses, grouping and subgrouping, listening to the song etc. This was a very important chapter to learn because in any song that you record for a client you will be the one mixing it so you should know the most effective way to approach a mix and make it your own. Mixing is subjective to the listener and audio engineer. You dont have to follow a standard policy and procedure on how to mix down a song. Its up to you as an audio engineer to make the song sound great! I cant wait to learn more about the mastering process and to finish my song that we are working on for this chapter!
