![]() ![]() Um, now I like to start with the mastering chain, as I mentioned, and I know that seems a little bit backwards, but I'm gonna show you how it can affect your mix. Like I said, you know, my first day is if you have a really good song, it's gonna practically mix itself And that just goes to say that if if the people you're working with can perform really good and there's less editing involved, you probably have a lot easier time as well. So um, 70 75% off a mix is actually preparing it, and then the other 25% is the actual mix itself. He's not messing around with cables and trying to do all these complicated, you know, editing vocals and any of that stuff. Everything's plugged in and everything is ready to go, and he just mixes the song. Eso When he does walk in, it's already on the board.

So if you've actually done the job of producing are getting the production done properly and having everything edited properly, then the mixing should actually be a really fast process. When a band says, Hey, can you mix a song? And also, while you're at it can you to in the vocals. So make sure all your tracks air completely edited before you ever send them to anyone to mix. So you don't wanna have to, you know, if you want toe mix a song, you shouldn't have to go in and start editing vocals before you do it, because then you're just not gonna be in the right headspace. It should be basically void of all technicalities. Mixing the song is a creative process, and it should not really involve. Understand? Um, all the things that we've been discussing here, you know, the rift building, the guitar editing techniques, vocal correction, quant ization, all that stuff should be done before you ever try to mix the song. Teoh, Explain what I think mixing is so the first thing mixing is not editing. First we need to understand, you know what exactly is mixing? And I think there is a lot of people who are confused on what mixing is, and I get questions all the time.
