The level-to-level relationship between tracks will determine the overall foundation of your mix. Once you begin to bring up faders, you\u2019ll find a rough mix quickly taking shape!<\/p>\n<p>Start with the kick drum and work your way through the drum tracks until they\u2019re nicely balanced. Continue with bass and the rhythm instruments before finally bringing in vocals and other lead instruments. Once you\u2019re happy with basic levels, you can move on to the next element of your mix.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, great mixes don\u2019t stop at simply leveling with faders. You\u2019ll likely need volume automation at select points further in the mixing process, and you should also be familiar with <a href=\"http:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/understanding-the-difference-between-gain-and-volume\/\">the difference between volume and gain<\/a> &#8211; though you can keep things simple when first learning how to mix music.<\/p>\n<h1>Panning<\/h1>\n<p>Panning allows mix engineers to place elements in the stereo field. Some panning tends to dictate itself, such as with drum overheads or multi-tracked rhythm guitars. Other times you can get a bit clever with it, employing automation or even auto-panner plugins! <em>[Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/5-quick-panning-mixing-tricks\/\">5 Quick Panning Mix Tricks<\/a> for more ideas!]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s good to keep in mind that panning is often used to create width. If you have multiple vocal harmonies, for example, they may sound rather flat stacked on top of one another. But if you move a track over to the left and another to the right, with a lead vocal sitting in the center, you will have widened your vocals and made them sound bigger. This concept can be applied to anything so long as it sounds good to you!<\/p>\n<h1>Dynamics Processing<\/h1>\n<p>Dynamics processors are used to control the volume envelope of a sound. Tools like compressors, limiters, noise gates, and de-essers are all examples of dynamics processors, which can control or smooth out the peaks and troughs of a given signal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40695 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-227x170.jpg 227w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-40x30.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-20x15.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-563x422.jpg 563w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-453x340.jpg 453w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-13x10.jpg 13w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-12x9.jpg 12w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_2-385x289.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve established a rough mix with leveling and panning, you may want to start taming its dynamics. Noise gates, for instance, can be placed on various parts of the drum kit to eliminate unwanted bleed.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll probably apply <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/how-to-use-a-compressor-intermediate-techniques\/\">compression<\/a>, too, throughout much of the mix on many instruments, either as an effect or to control dynamics. If there\u2019s ever a processor you\u2019ll want to fully understand, it\u2019s compression. Using it well can enhance a mix, though the opposite is true if its application is haphazard! As usual, trust your ears.<\/p>\n<h1>Equalization<\/h1>\n<p>Apart from dynamics processing, EQ is one of the most-used tools in a mix engineer\u2019s kit. In general, there are 5 \u201cgolden rules\u201d of equalization to help guide your decisions when mixing:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If something sounds muddy and dull, try cutting somewhere around 250 Hz.<\/li>\n<li>If something sounds honky, try cutting an octave up, around 500 Hz.<\/li>\n<li>To make an element sound better, cut unpleasant frequencies.<\/li>\n<li>To make an element sound different, boost frequencies.<\/li>\n<li>And finally, you can\u2019t boost a frequency that doesn\u2019t naturally exist in the given material.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Beyond the golden rules, EQ is extremely powerful and versatile. Surgical EQ can drastically improve an otherwise \u201cokay\u201d sounding instrument, and proper use of high-pass filters can massively improve the low-end content of a mix. It doesn\u2019t stop there, though, as EQ use is limited only by your imagination and what sounds good!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40696 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3.jpg\" alt=\"How to Mix Music Using the Basics_3\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-56x75.jpg 56w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-203x270.jpg 203w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-169x225.jpg 169w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-128x170.jpg 128w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-263x350.jpg 263w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-40x53.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-14x18.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-160x213.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-405x540.jpg 405w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-12x16.jpg 12w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-455x606.jpg 455w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-11x14.jpg 11w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-255x340.jpg 255w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-8x10.jpg 8w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-20x27.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-7x9.jpg 7w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-525x700.jpg 525w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-16x21.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_3-385x513.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also compiled <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/eq-cheat-sheet\/\">an EQ cheat sheet<\/a> to understand where frequencies of interest live in a variety of instruments!<\/p>\n<h1>Time-Based Effects<\/h1>\n<p>The most commonly used time-based effects are reverb and delay. Using either or both of these can create an aural space for an instrument to sit, can add \u201cexcitement\u201d to a track, can add depth and dimension to an instrument, or can push a track further back in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>To create an aural space, for instance, a great trick is to imagine the performer in an acoustic environment and to attempt to recreate what that environment might sound like by using reverb. Additionally, to make something sound bigger or more exciting, experiment with using small reverbs or short delays.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40697\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40697\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-40697 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4.jpg\" alt=\"How to Mix Music Using the Basics_4\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-40x27.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-633x422.jpg 633w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-15x10.jpg 15w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-14x9.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_4-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40697\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A reverb chamber.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To add depth or push a track back, use longer delays or big reverbs.

In mastering, a final stereo bounce may be all the engineer is working with!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40698 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5.jpg\" alt=\"The Basics of Mixing Music \" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5.jpg 500w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-56x75.jpg 56w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-202x270.jpg 202w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-169x225.jpg 169w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-127x170.jpg 127w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-262x350.jpg 262w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-40x53.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-13x18.jpg 13w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-160x213.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-405x540.jpg 405w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-12x16.jpg 12w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-454x606.jpg 454w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-10x14.jpg 10w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-255x340.jpg 255w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-7x9.jpg 7w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-20x27.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-16x21.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/How-to-Mix-Music-Using-the-Basics_5-385x514.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a great analogy saying that mastering is like Photoshop for audio. You can buy a great camera, learn the art of photography, take beautiful photos, and sometimes things still aren&#8217;t quite right. The lighting may be off, or a smudge on the lens can ruin an otherwise perfect shot. A skilled Photoshop user can touch things up and make sure the photo is at its highest potential.<\/p>\n<p>In a similar way, mastering engineers &#8220;touch up&#8221; an already incredible mix. In addition to equalizing track-to-track levels across an album, they&#8217;re also listening to songs individually and applying any additional processing that will help an already-mixed track.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9qDipQ8zVqo&#038;t=42s\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Top 10 Mixing Mistakes - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro\" title=\"Play video &quot;Top 10 Mixing Mistakes - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9qDipQ8zVqo&#038;t=42s<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9qDipQ8zVqo&#038;t=42s\" title=\"Top 10 Mixing Mistakes - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro\">Top 10 Mixing Mistakes &#8211; Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9qDipQ8zVqo&#038;t=42s)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mixing music requires both technical ability and the creativity to try things that would make a song compelling and interesting to listeners.
