Imagine someone is starting learning mixing or mastering today. What's the one piece of advice you'd give them to help them succeed faster?

As usual in the spirit of sharing and learning, I'm posting my submission here as well - any comments suggestions welcome :) Submitted last night, but did a few minor tweaks this morning as well and updated it. Still not sure if it is a little too much low end in the first part, and I'm not totally happy with the impacts in the third section ... Within the time constraints, and the fact I'm not used to orchestral mixing, I'm fairly happy with the results :)

Our next Fix-The-Mix starts in less than 24hrs time! Join us live for 3-days of mixing a track from start to finish with a multi-platinum engineer. We'll show you how to fix (and prevent) the biggest problems in your mix. It's free to register but you're running out of time, it's now or never. RSVP here for free: https://courses.mastering.com/events/e/fix-the-mix-sep-2026?utm_source=Skool This event is hosted in partnership with Orchestral Tools, and we'll be working on a song with orchestral elements. See you there! Drop a gif below if you’re planning to attend live 🤘
