Mixing! Mixing is a super subjective, annoying, and important step. This is the jump and difference between recording single tracks with your phone or webcam, and producing something you'd commonly hear on a CD or Radio. We're going to cover EQ, Compression, balancing volume levels, panning in the musical space, and preparing our song so every instrument is heard and balanced for the song's need. A lot of the video is just watching me think, and the final song will have a slightly different mix than this. Hopefully you guys can follow along, take everything with a grain of salt, and again this is just what I do. There are more in depth, probably more thorough and better tutorials out there but I think this is a great summary and start. I know I also have a lot of different plugins, so check out the links below for examples as well as freeware that's just as good.
