3 Mixing Mistakes You Need To Fix Now!
Sep 10, 2025Are your mixes sounding flat, muddy, harsh, or unbalanced? In this video, I break down the 3 most common mixing mistakes that stop your songs from sounding professional.
The first mistake is starting every session from scratch. I show you how using a mixing template in Logic Pro (or any DAW) instantly saves time and keeps your workflow consistent.
The second mistake is overloading your tracks with plugins. I explain why too many plugins can ruin your mix and how to get better results by focusing on faders and panning first.
The third mistake is ignoring reference tracks. Without them, it’s nearly impossible to judge balance, clarity, and tone. I share simple tricks to compare your mix with professional songs and match levels across the frequency spectrum.
As a bonus, I also cover why mixing at loud volumes hurts your results and how lower levels help you hear your music more accurately in a home studio.
Whether you’re mixing in Logic Pro, Ableton, FL Studio, or Pro Tools, these tips will help you avoid beginner pitfalls and get cleaner, more professional-sounding mixes.
