"Push up the faders, balance the mix, add some EQ, adjust the pans, add some effects and you’re finished. Those are usually the only things that many of us think about when we’re mixing, but there are a number of additional items to keep in mind during mixing besides the mixing process itself. Many less experienced engineers may not be aware of these issues in the first place, and some mixers that are aware sometimes forget in the heat of audio battle. What am I referring to? Let’s take a look at the concerns beyond making your mix sound tall, deep and wide."
