diy mixing

In martial arts, there’s a concept that goes something like this: learn the technique, practice the technique, forget the technique.

Mixing is similar if you think about it. As we’ve mentioned in these pages before, there are two sides to mixing. One is artfulness and intuition – your ability to feel a track with your heart. One is technical knowledge, skill, and science – your ability to understand a track with your brain. It’s the combo that makes for the art of mixing.
