When I started out in music production, I wished that I might have someone that could answer all of the questions I had and explain everything and expand my understanding in the areas I was lacking. The difficulty is that the entire area of music production is huge, not to mention most of the people have their own unique way of doing things. I’m now going to offer you some pieces of advice that are important in your success and will help you to pave a path to a pro music production.

Do not mix for too long ; let your ears rest - it is critical to take breaks during mixing. For each hour you are mixing a track allow a twenty minutes break. This may be quite hard if you are doing PC music production, as the computer you’ll be mixing on will no doubt be in the room you spend almost all of your time. Now. No-one actually sticks to this break-time formula as regular clockwork but it is something to aim for and maybe let this time overlap slightly .

I would say to take a break sooner if you are working on a little repetitive section of a song for some time, as your intelligence will just ‘let go’ and not be sharp and anything will sound amazing after a while sabotaging any plan to get a professional music production finished.

Do not mix in a giant roomy environment - Anything that alters the sound of your track that is outside of computer music production or a mixing desk is an issue. If you mix like this, you might get a pro music production out of your track but once you take it out of the room you mixed it in it will sound totally terrible as the ambiance and acoustics of that room are not present.

Do not mix a music track on the same day recording it - This is for two reasons. First reason would be as you use 2 different parts of your brain to do each. For one you’ve got to really concentrate hard and the other is the opposite, you want to concentrate too but you also desire forget what you are doing and sense or feel.

The second reason would be caused by the possible levels your ears have received exposure to during recording, some artists / bands would not have this but they would have the first reason as a reason not to do both mixing and recording on one day. It can be tricky if you’re working on a PC music production but you really must learn to leave it alone and give your consciousness and ears a rest ; do something that uses your other senses and do not sit in the same place that you’ll mix in when you are not mixing.
