A Few “Pre-Mixing” Tips from Audio Geek Zine

MixersI’ve been thinking more and more about mixing lately. In a few weeks we’ll start talking about mixing in the HSC Production Club, and it’s just been on my brain lately as I prepare.

I wrote an article last week (Close Your Eyes) where I encouraged you to remove yourself from the gear and the software and let your ears do the work.

It’s like Jon over at AudioGeekZine.com knew I was thinking about mixing, because he wrote a 2-part series on getting ready to mix. He makes some fantastic suggestions. I’ll definitely use most (if not all) of these for my next mixing session.

Several of the suggestions are not what you would expect, but they make a LOT of sense.

Here are the links:
