Mixing

Today's post is about mixing. I like it. How can you tell if mixing is for you? If you don't mind hearing the same song 250 million times, then mixing might be your dream job.

I'm mixing a song called "Holding Nothing Back" by a Christian Rock group by the name of Damascus Road. They're a pretty talented bunch. I enjoy time in the studio with them.

Anyways, the first thing I had to do was EQ the tracks. There were over 16 of them. Then we get into actually mixing the tracks together to make them sound cohesive.

One thing I know for sure: You can mix a song until forever. I don't feel like I'm done, but I could tweak this song forever. LOL

Here's a photo of my mixing screen:
