I basically mix while I am arranging. I keep in mind the frequency mix and the levels I want each track to be in the finished song. These days I know the bias our ears have towards certain frequencies and I mix accordingly, I have plugins that can provide all manner of compression or saturation or eq. Each track is treated separately but in relation to the over-all mix. The last few years I know that I want some tracks to end up at quite a low volume in the final mix because it adds interest. Because I don't stick to any one kind of music, I can have issues mixing and have to remix or even remake tracks several times. But I approach it like a writer writing a story- 'writing is rewriting'.All great replies, but again......Just wondering how others handle their individual tracks when readying them for mixing in a song.
