What's the most important thing in all of music mixing? Contrary to popular belief, it's NOT making everything equally audible at all times. Being able to get a "well balanced" mix is a useful skill. But when you're ready to go beyond merely competent mixing and into the world of truly memorable, world-class mixing, that touches and impresses end listeners... ...Then the key to this crucial mindset shift is finding the crucial "focal points" of the song, and letting them dominate other elements. This is a core component of the best and most memorable mixes and sounds you'll ever hear. Justin Colletti details how to find your focal points, and how to evaluate, organize and treat each of the sounds in your mix in order of importance. Thanks to GPU Audio for sponsoring this podcast.
