Advice on workflow in mixing needed... - komposition - 06-30-2017 Hey guys and gals, I have need of advice on workflow in mixing. I been making beats for a few years and in the past three been trying to get my mixing skills together. One of the MAJOR struggles I have is maintaining organization in my mixes. Usually what happens to me is that I get a decent balance together with using the faders and pan knobs feeling like Then chaos ensues as I try to put things together In short I usually balance and use the pan knobs. Then I work on the individual pieces, then I try to mix it all together I find myself using parametric EQ here and there and everywhere and I start to lose track of what each EQ's purpose is. Then everything feels like a train wreck... Anyone have any helpful tips or resource suggestions? Also it would be nice if you mentioned things that you do that are related to Mixbus and it's features...
