Once you know this, mixing is so much easier

One of the most common things I hear from home studio producers is that mixing feels overwhelming before it's even begun. You open a session, you're faced with more tracks than you know what to do with, and instead of making confident decisions you find yourself either guessing or grinding to a halt.

The problem isn't your ears, your plugins, or your monitoring setup. It's the absence of a clear, repeatable process for working through what you have before you commit to anything.

In this video I walk you through exactly that process. You'll see how I approach a session with an unusually high number of drum room tracks, how I assess each one with a purpose, and how I build a plan that keeps the mix moving forward without second guessing every decision. By the end you'll have a framework you can take straight into your next mix, so that next time your session feels like too much, you'll know exactly where to start.
