My music mixing process

* Listen to the clients reference/rough mix.
* Set up audio tracks in DAW.
-Arrange them in groups, label and colour code.
* Listen to all individual tracks.
* Adjust track levels for a rough balance.

- Compression,
- Standard compression,
- Parallel compression,
- Slide-chain compression,
- Multiband compression,
- Adding ambience (reverb/delay),
- Panning,
- De-essing,
- Gating,
- Special fx.
- DAW automation,
* Setup sub-groups/busses, (Ie, all vocals may be sub-grouped).
* Buss and master buss processing.
