How to... Record your tracks
Recording: The mix
04 Listening Level
Try listening to your mix at different volumes to ensure it's really working.

How to... Make the most of the mix
"Always listen to your mix at a low volume. Some sounds may not come through and you have to compensate for that."
Jaimeson
Producer

Blasting it really loud can make your ears less sensitive to the smaller details of the mix and funnily enough, listening to it very quietly can be a more effective way of hearing which voices really stand out.

Hearing the mix at different volumes is the best way to achieve a balanced sound.
