Groove3 The Assistant Job: Mix Session Prep TUTORiALIn this DAW video course, production wizard Alberto Rizzo Schettino will walk you through the often-overlooked (but crucial!) process of preparing for a mixing session. Whether you want to be a music producer assistant or just need to prepare your own DAW session for mixing, this DAW video course is for you. This course covers a wide range of topics, including track cleaning and management, effective bus practices, gain staging, channel strip settings, and more. The steps covered in this DAW course will help you make the most of your mixing session and avoid getting mired in unnecessary clutter and other time-wasting issues. These DAW videos are designed for anyone who works with DAW sessions.

Alberto begins by discussing what mix prep is, why you should do it, and how it can help streamline your workflow and produce better results in a shorter time. Then he gets down to business, starting with importing any necessary audio and making sure it conforms to your project. This is followed by the topic of routing and bussing, which is essential to good organization, among other aspects.

Next, you’ll dive into gain staging—first drums/bass and then guitars/keys/vocals—which is crucial in making sure you have plenty of headroom throughout the mixing process. Alberto then tackles the topic of lead vocal prep, including splitting the different parts so that you’re ready to process each section according to its specific needs. Throughout the rest of the course, Alberto covers the remaining topics, such as inter-phrase gain staging the lead vocal (making sure the vocal level sits nicely from word to word), mix bus prep (assembling the effects chain), channel strip prep (setting up necessary plug-ins, defaults, etc.), printing tracks (revisions or rough mixes), and more.

By taking a bit of time at the beginning to complete these steps, you or your mix engineer will be sure to have a productive, enjoyable mixing session that will save time in the long run and will very likely produce a better mix. With so many moving parts, the importance of organization and preparedness can’t be overstated.
