The following is a ten step procedure for the mixing of a song. These steps can be varied in any way necessary to accommodate the
themes or concepts of the song or materials to be mixed. Please be aware that the detail of each step can change depending on your
equipment and the song. Sometime the song may not be fully developed and attempting to mixdown will make this evident, one of the
reasons why even the professionals do rough mixes. Final mixes are best approached when your ears are fresh, not at the end of an all
day tracking session. After mixing various projects you will develop your own procedure and you can feel free to throw this out, I
mean store this for further reference along with all of the other bad song ideas that your friends have come up with.
