This goes over what we have already learned but has clear simple directions, it goes in-depth and has some useful tips and tricks. It’s meant for beginner mixers.

“The fundamental audio mixing techniques to be dealt with in order are:

  1. Volume
  2. Panning
  3. Frequency
  4. Imaging
  5. Dynamics
  6. Effects”

Pro-Tip: Don’t focus on what to add when EQing. Always cut instead of boosting, focusing on what to remove. When boosting, it’s common to push tracks too hot or uncover unwanted sonic footprints. Cut and compensate with volume if needed.”
