ABSTRACT

There are two primary ingredients to mixing: performing a variety of audio processes on the tracks, and configuring those processes together, within and among the tracks. With the advent of the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), plug-ins representing many different audio processes that traditionally had been the province of mixers became available to editors. So the question becomes the division of labor: how much equalization to do during editing versus how much to leave to the mix, for instance.
