MIXCRITMONDAY IS THE SHOW WHERE WE CRIT YOUR MIXES!

ON THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT:

1:19 – What’s unique about the mix

8:21 – Go listen to the final version of the song first

11:07 – Sounding like a rough mix isn’t a bad thing

16:07 – Getting the right snare balance and not overwhelming the low end

24:50 – If you’re going to go in a different direction with a mix, go all the way with it

31:53 – Having the music build is crucial, but so is balance

40:05 – Vocals need to be loud, but not too loud

45:43 – A good example of capturing the build up of the instruments
