mixing techniques

Mixing techniques involve balancing and blending audio tracks to create a cohesive sound. Key methods include equalization (EQ) to shape tone by boosting or cutting specific frequencies; compression to control dynamic range, making quiet sounds louder and loud sounds softer; panning to position sounds across the stereo field; and reverb to add space and depth. These techniques work together to ensure clarity, balance, and emotional impact, helping each instrument or vocal sit well within the overall mix. Skilled mixing enhances the listening experience by making the final track sound polished and professional.
