ABSTRACT
I know it feels like there’s been a lot of work up to this point, but we’re finally ready to start really mixing this track. As we’ve talked about previously, most great mixers develop workflows or templates that they’re able to import into their session and reference to allow them to stay in the creative mode, rather than the “hunt for a good delay and reverb combo” mode. Of course, no matter how good the EQs and effects on your template are, they’ll never work for every guitar, snare, or vocal sound you put them on. That said, rather than starting with one of my existing templates, I want to show you how to build your own to enable you to create faster, better mixes over time. Let’s start by looking at the bussing structure we’ll create to mix through.
