Interest – The Key to Great Mixes: Part 2 from "The Mixing Engineer?s Handbook"

Chapter: Audio

Topic: Mixing and Balancing

Although having control of the other five elements of a mix (balance, frequency range, panorama, dimension, and dynamics) may be sufficient for many types of audio jobs and might be just fine to get a decent mix, most popular music requires a mix that can take it to another level. Although it?s always easier with great tracks, solid arrangements and spectacular playing, a great mix can take simply OK tracks and transform them into hit material so compelling that people can?t get enough of it. It?s been done on some of your all-time favorite songs.
