"The pros never don’t do the basics." I love this quote, because reminds me every day that I shouldn't skip essential steps in the mixing process, even though they might seem trivial or less exciting than more advanced techniques.

In fact, if you take this seriously and get those seemingly basic things right, your mixes will already sound better than 90% of all DIY-mixes out there, because NOBODY is really doing that.

The perfect balance for every part of the song, including transitions, is the most important thing in any mix. More important than any individual tone.  

Nobody cares about tiny EQ moves or a slightly different compression setting, if the balance is off. But everybody notices when the vocals are buried or the kick drum is too loud.

When every part of your mix is well balanced, it will translate well and (most importantly) connect emotionally. Nobody will question the mix. 

Plus, your EQ moves, compression and other decisions will be much easier if you keep a good balance and proper gain staging throughout in your session.

It will help you make better mixes instantly, by focusing on what really matters. 

It's a guide for the self-recording musicians who also want to mix themselves, that leads to more effective mix moves, more confidence, less tweaking and ultimately - better mixes.

So get this FREE resource now and do what most amateur mixers don't do: 

Focus on the most important mixing concepts and techniques that really matter.

 
On this episode we give you an overview, show you what’s inside Standout Mixes and outline the process that is described in-depth in the actual video and checklist.
