The most important part of your mix

audio engineering mixing Nov 12, 2024

What's the most important part of the mix for you? 🤔

  • Compression?
  • Equalization?
  • FX?
  • Balance?

I think if you ask 100 producers that question, you'd get 100 answers 😂.

I don't think any one would be wrong either.

HOWEVER...

For me, I've learned there's one thing that trumps all else:

Leveling.

I know - anticlimactic.

The truth usually is lol.

But that DOESN'T make it simple!

There's a world of depth in the concept of leveling, and you'd be surprised how many phases of the mixing process are just aspects of leveling 👇

The next time your struggling with an unbalanced mix, take it back to the basics and think about your levels 🧠.
