Steven Slate 5 Mixing Mistakes That Are Easy To Fix

Steven Slate not only builds products that are widely used by hitmakers everywhere, but he also has a great deal of recording and mixing expertise. This is understandable in that you can’t build a good product unless you know what you’re looking for it to be able to do. Steven has a great VLOG where he posts some very useful tips and tricks. Here’s a great video where Steven outlines the 5 mixing mistakes that he sees a lot (so do I, as a matter of fact).

These are no run of the mill gear mistakes either. We’re talking macro issues here. In the video Steve covers:

1. Not thinking about the final mix before you begin.

2. Being too focused on just a part of your mix instead of the mix as a whole.

3. Soloing too much.

4. Not listening to a reference mix.

5. Not addressing the acoustics of your room.

All good points that Steven goes into detail about in the video below.
