HOW SHOULD I APPROACH THE MIX PROCESS?

If you think of songwriting and recording as an artistic process, it's not hard to draw an analogy between mixing a song and painting a picture.

Let's say you're looking at a painting of some French farmland. Your eyes move from the green rolling hills, to the creek winding past the red farmhouse, to the farmer greeting the cow as the sun shines above.

Now think of your mix as a "musical landscape." Every element is distinct but integrated, flowing into each other. A great mix allows the ears to wander from one sound to the next but always focusing back on the main elements - the melody, the hook, etc.

In your painting, the frequencies are your colors. Allow your instruments to stand out, with some colors brighter than others.

I hope this post helps out and if you are looking for musical equipment then look no further because you will find it here at:
