Whether you are running sound for a worship service or are recording a song, mixing is an essential practice of creatively shaping each instrument to best serve the song. Though everybody’s personal preference is different, a mixing engineer still needs to understand EQ, Compression, and Effects and how they can be used. We will do a basic overview of each of these tools, and then practice together on a pre-recorded song.
