ABSTRACT
Mixing can be seen as involving two main concerns: macromixing and micromixing. Macromixing is concerned with the overall mix; for example, its frequency balance. Micromixing is concerned with the individual treatment of each instrument; for instance, how natural the vocals sound. The key objective with mixing is to best convey the performance and emotional features of a musical piece so that it moves the listener. The mood objective is concerned with reflecting the emotional context of the music in the mix. Of all the objectives, this one involves the most creativity and is central to the entire project. Primarily, definition stands for how distinct and recognizable sounds are. Mostly, people associate definition with instruments, but they can also talk about the definition of a reverb. Most people are familiar with the bass and treble controls found on many hi-fi systems.
