Weekly words of wisdom!
For maximum efficiency when mixing, make sure you label all of your tracks. Label your drums – kick in, kick out, snare top, snare bottom, hats etc. Label your guitars – rhythm left, rhythm right, lead centre etc.
As well as correctly labelling your tracks, be sure to put everything in an order that you can work with. For me, i start with my master fader on the far left, then all the drum tracks, bass tracks, guitar tracks, additional layers and all the vocal tracks following from left to right. You might want to have all your vocals on the far left or even in the centre and build from there – there’s no right or wrong way to do it, but the key is to maximise your workflow and ensure you aren’t loosing any time in your mix session. Take advantage of track colours as well as this can make your groups easily identifiable.
This is a very simple tip but it is certainly one to take note of because you will find that your workflow will be much more efficient and your focus will be entirely on the audio content without any distractions from poorly organised and unnamed audio tracks.
