When I began in music production, I wished that I could have somebody that could answer all the questions I had and explain everything and expand my knowledge in the areas I was lacking. The issue is that the whole area of music production is great, 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 professional 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 permit a 20 mins break. This can be quite hard if you are doing computer music production, as the computer you'll be mixing on will without doubt be in the room you spend almost all of your time. Now. No-one truly sticks to this break-time formula as regular clockwork but it is something to aim for and maybe let this time overlap a bit.

I'd say to take 5 earlier if you're working on a small repeated section of a song for a bit, as your mind will just 'let go' and not be sharp and anything will sound amazing after a bit sabotaging any plan to get a professional music production finished.

Do not mix in a giant roomy environment - Anything that changes the sound of your track that is outside of computer music production or a mixing desk is a difficulty. If you mix like this, you may get a professional music production out of your track but when you take it out of the room you mixed it in it will sound fully terrible as the ambiance and acoustics of that room are no longer present.

Don't mix a music track on the same day recording it - This is for two reasons. First reason would be because you use two different parts of your brain to do each. For one you have got to truly concentrate hard and the second is the opposite, you would like to concentrate too but you also need forget what you are doing and sense or feel.

The second reason would be down to the probable levels your ears have been exposed to during recording, some artists / bands wouldn't 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 hard if you're working on a PC music production but you must learn how to leave it alone and give your consciousness and ears a rest ; do something that uses your other senses and don't sit in the same place that you'll mix in when you are not mixing.
