Things to Keep in Mind While Mixing

The following are intended as guidelines or suggestions to follow when mixing your
projects, not as “hard-and-fast” instructions.

• Consider the importance of each element in the overall mix.

• Keep related tracks close together (in the Timeline and the Mixer).

• Don’t create a final mix until the picture is locked.

• Listen to the mix with the best possible equipment.

• Also listen to the mix as the audience will hear it.

• Don’t change output/monitor levels while mixing.

• Mix by what you hear, not by what you see.
