Mixing involves adjusting and combining individual tracks into a stereo or multichannel format, a.k.a. the mix. Mastering involves processing your mix into its final form so that it's ready for distribution, which may include transitioning and sequencing the songs.
After you’ve finished recording your individual tracks, your project is ready to be mixed. While every mix engineer’s workflow is different, a smart first step is to organize your tracks. Start by giving each track an informative name. “Ld Vox” makes a lot more sense than something like “audio_track_14.wav.” Instantiate gain plug-ins on each track to ensure that they’re not too loud, not too soft, and about the same volume. Use your DAW’s faders to roughly approximate levels for each track. Then, pan each track to create a balanced soundstage, while also giving each element its own spatial location. Done? Congratulations! You’ve now created what is known as a rough mix.
