If you're always working on poorly recorded tracks that feel out of time and tune, mixing sucks.
That's the simple truth about it.
I know you come to this page for mixing advice to help you improve your productions, but unfortunately, mixing is only one part of the picture.
A good mix also has to be recorded well, and then it needs tucked and tuned during editing to be as precise and powerful as possible.
Only then will mixing become fun and creative.
To become a better-rounded engineer and producer, you need to know the entire stack of skills - and that's something my friend Jordan Valeriote created a video series all about.
Check it out here: The Full-Stack Producer: How to Make Competitive Records Today
In this three-part video series, you'll learn:
- What truly separates amateur products/engineers from the pros
- The difference between producers who stay stuck with embarrassing demo-quality records - and those who rapidly attract clients in the studio
- The 5 levels of growth that EVERY engineer/producer must go through
- How to identify which level of the Production Ladder you've reached (so that you know what your next step is)
I've watched the entire video series already but it's so insightful I might watch the whole thing over again.
And because he's giving you access to all three videos at once, binge-watching the entire series is a perfect way to get amped up for the week!
