Tips and Tricks

Just for fun i searched "sound mixing tricks" into google and a few websites showed up. Some of the things that were said i already knew about, and some i didn't. The ones i didn't know were pretty interesting.

One trick that is really simple, but very important is to listen to your mixes on a bunch of different speakers. The speaker that you do most of your mixing on might sound really good, but they definitely don't sound the same as iPod earbuds, so trying to get the best possible sound for every set of speakers is ideal.

Another tip would be to always back everything up. It should be common knowledge but it sucks when you forget to do so and the worst happens. It's happened to me before.

Tweakheadz has a really good article on their website on how you should record, place, and edit every part of a band. It also talks about what you should do when mixing and mastering.
