It's not. Well, in most, if not 98%, cases the client goes to the mixing engineer after he has a set of tracks, or rather, a song. In most cases. And when the mixing is done with the mixing engineer, then the result goes to the mastering engineer. This is how mixing engineers usually earn their living. > Mixing is part of defining how the music will sound.

How can you answer this question? It's > a matter of taste. Mixing is full of subjective decisions. You are free to take a listen to any, and more if you are so inclined. https://soundcloud.com/nominal6/jam12 https://soundcloud.com/nominal6/jam25 https://soundcloud.com/nominal6/jam22 https://soundcloud.com/nominal6/jam15 https://soundcloud.com/nominal6/jam6 Sorry, no progressive metal. Now, the way it went with this so far, is that now it might very well veer off with a critic of those songs. So I would like to say that despite the trend, I would - strangely - welcome critics on the songs and the way the sounds are put together. I always ask anyhow when I post them. Which will get totally off the subject here, but it's OK. Some are possibly itching to talk about actual mixing. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
