From Audio Engineering 101 Textbook

The document outlines 7 key mixing tasks from an audio engineering textbook: 1) balancing instrument volumes, 2) controlling dynamic range using compression or limiting, 3) panning instruments to separate and open up the mix, 4) using equalization to subtract and boost frequencies, 5) additional editing to clean up tracks, 6) applying effects for depth and texture as well as separating or joining instruments, and 7) using automation to program and recall volume and other changes.

From Audio Engineering 101 Textbook:

Mixing tasks (please note, this is not an all-inclusive


list) are as follows:

1. Balance of instruments: Balancing the


volume between the recorded tracks is the
first and most important step performed
during mixing.

2. Compression or limiting: Controlling the


dynamic range helps sounds sit more consistently
in the mix while squashing any sudden
peaks.

3. Panning: Panning helps the user separate


like instruments and open up the complete
3D reference ball.

4. Equalization: Start with subtractive equalization


then boost what is missing.

5. Additional editing: This is the engineer’s


last chance to clean up and consolidate the
recorded tracks.

6. FX: Effects are applied at this stage for


additional depth and texture. They can also
be used to separate or glue instruments
together. + Sending, Returning

7. Automation: Typically the last stage of


mixing. Automation allows the user to program
volume changes and other moves to
later be recalled and performed
automatically.
