  • What's your mixing process?

    Hi everone,

    I was wondering if you mix one musical section at a time or if anyone mixes an entire track at a time?  I currently work section by section beginning with the loudest section first to set levels and articulations for all tracks, then preceed to another musical sections.  Is there a bennefit to doing an entire track through the whole song first then doing other tracks the same way?

  • Hi Aric.
    I think your approach it's absolutely right.
    A previous overall listening is also really useful, better following it on a printed version, just like being on the podium at a rehearsal with real performers, to quickly take note of things to be done later.
    By the way, section-wise mixing is also true for sections as parts of the orchestra.
    Best regards
