If you're worried about whether your music is even ready to be mixed, here's how you know.

Pull up the faders and listen to the song.

If you hear an exciting production and a well performed arrangement that makes you feel something, good job.

It's ready for mixing.

But if you hear something missing. 

If you hear something out of time or out of tune.

If you wish something could be better.

Then put those processors away and go back to the creative drawing board of Production and Arrangement.

Mixing is EASY when you have all the right parts recorded.

You might still have to transform those tracks with some processing to make them sound professional and "release-ready" but if you're pulling up the faders and the tracks aren't making you exciting, your song is not ready for mixing.

Simple as that.

That's where the Pre-Mixing Mindset comes in that I talk about extensively inside the Mix Finisher Formula.
