Mixing:
Definition: Mixing is the process of combining individual tracks or elements of a song (such as vocals, instruments, and drums) into a final stereo mix.
Goals:
- Balance: Adjusting the volume levels of each track to create a harmonious and cohesive sound.
- Panning: Placing each element in the stereo field to create a sense of space and dimension.
- EQ (Equalization): Fine-tuning the frequency balance to enhance clarity and eliminate frequency conflicts.
- Effects: Adding reverb, delay, and other effects to create ambiance and depth.
- Dynamics: Adjusting the dynamic range through compression and limiting to control volume variations.
