What makes pro mixes stand out from the competition?
Hey everyone, most of us have been mixing for a while, and we can get pretty dang close to a great mix! However, getting all the way there can be a challenge.
When we compare our mixes with the pros, we’ll often find that there is something which their mixes have and ours don’t.
There’s an extra bit of excitement, dimension, depth. An extra bit of sparkle at the top. It’s not much, however, these subtle details make all the difference!
What are these pros doing and how can you match them?
