Music Mixing Techniques
for the Home Recording Studio

Learn music mixing techniques to
mix your home recordings like a professional.

After all your tracks have been recorded you can start
mixing the individual instruments to make them fit together.

Mixing is a process where you take the tracks and

Set Volume
Equalization
Pan Levels
Depth
Effects

All of this can have a big impact
on the way the song sounds.

Mixing the song is very subjective as you can
mix a song in an infinite number of ways and
each one can sound good.

The tool you use when mixing is a mixer.
It can be software or hardware.

With the mixer you can:

Adjust the EQ of each instrument in relation to each other so
they don't clash with each other.

Adjust the volume of each instrument so you can hear each instrument.

Use panning to position each instrument in the stereo field.

Add effects like reverb to add depth to the instruments.

When mixing you should experiment and
try different mixes.
It is also good to try the mixes on
different play back systems.

Mixing can take as long or longer than recording the instruments but
the time spent is as important as the recording process.
