The Good Mix Rule - Posted on 2012-12-20 by Brent R

I wanted to cover a basic rule of recording that I learned from both bouts of recording school that really stuck with me.  It is called the Good Rule and to be honest it is common sense.  If it isn't followed...like I have been guilty of before...it can destroy an otherwise good recording.  A good recording is only as strong as its weakest link.  The Good Rule goes something like this...Good Musician/Instrument+Good Microphone+Good Equipment+Good Mixing Engineer=Good Recording.  If anyone of these essential and basic elements is off then the quality of the recording is greatly diminished!
