If you would like to know how to make your home recordings sound exactly like a professional album straight out of a commercial studio …then here’s how the pros do it.
And how you can do the same thing today…by applying the approach you will find in this letter.
Answer me this:
Do your mixes sound amateurish and unprofessional compared to the ones on the radio?
Do you struggle with making your vocals sit correctly with the rest of the mix?
Do your drums sound boxy and weak, and is your low-end unclear and muddy?
Do you find yourself overwhelmed and unable to create an effective strategy for an easier mixing experience?
Well that’s all about to change, because Mixing Strategies solves these problems.
After Recording, Where Should you go?
Let me tell you, I didn’t always know the answer to all these audio questions.
When I tried to mix I had a hard time. I thought mixing was supposed to be fun and cool but I was just intimidated. All I was doing was randomly inserting plug-ins and processors on every track, shrugging my shoulders because I couldn’t really figure out how anything worked.
No matter what I did I couldn’t make it sound better. I mean, the songs changed, but I didn’t really know where I was going with the mix. There was no balance to the instruments and the vocals sounded glued on and fake.
It just screamed “amateur.”
The reason why is simple. I had no plan of action, and no concrete blueprint to make my mixes sound like I wanted.
Years later, after countless hours of recording and mixing, I knew what I was doing. Mixing became fun. Using simple EQ and compression tricks, I got punchy drums and full and balanced instruments. I started using reverb and delay to create space and depth for that professional feel. And besides that, vocals sounded better than ever as I started to recognize and eliminate problematic frequencies.
What does that mean for you?
With simple and effective set of techniques and following a straightforward plan of action for every mix – everything became easier.
Today I want you to learn those tips, and make your sessions effortless and easy.
