Quick 'n dirty guide to a typical EDM mix
« on: January 06, 2016, 08:17:03 pm »
First off, hi everyone! There, now that we've been introduced and know everything about each other, here's a guide I threw together a year ago to help people get started with mixing. It just covers the basics for how most modern EDM is mixed, with a quick primer on mastering; nothing special, but it should help some people get to an acceptable level, fast.

is it a template ? or did you do something yourself ???

I like this quick and dirty idea. You should try doing a series where you cover different genres

Agreed with what you say about mixing in the video.  The best melody you've ever heard won't get attention from higher ups if the track sounds like it is produced by a novice.  Maybe not THAT bold of a claim.... but you get what I mean.
