How to Mix Music Files

Sound mixing is an integral part of digital recording. To enhance the quality of the recording output, you need to mix the tracks suitably. In this technique, the recorded instruments are "perfected" using sound production and enhancing software in order to raise the dynamism of the final song. The effects, thus, produced result in high quality output which is much more effective to listen than the original recording.

Sound mixing is an art and hence, you need to consciously take efforts to master it. With patient and perseverance, you can achieve your own style. Professional help is not mandatory but it may useful while understanding the fundamentals easily. You also need to have an ear for music just like you need a good aesthetic sense for interior decoration.

Various music production software like Cakewalk, Logic, Garageband as well as Pro Tools are available in the market for sound mixing purposes.

You need to first open a new project and import the existing recorded tracks. Then open the sound mixing window which would display the output of the track. To this, you can directly add plug-ins and effects.

As and when you make changes, play the composition to check whether you have achieved the desired result. This would help you to avoid additional effects that are not required and reduce your rework. You would also be able to remove those sounds that you do not want to be a part of the track.

While listening to your composition, balance the instruments sounds. Some of them may be jerky during the initial recording or stand out oddly against the others. You may even observe that certain tunes need to be louder or quieter. Correct these rumbles and adjust the pitch accordingly. Mix up these instrument recordings so that they gel well with each other. You can also use the mix window to reduce or boost the volume of each track.

Sound production software are equipped useful plug-ins that helps in achieving the desired results. Auto-tune, amp-modeling, reverb and delay are some examples. You can also try the "comping" technique wherein you arrange the best bits of your musical compilation in a single track by slicing part of your compilations.

In addition, use compression technique that comes with your mixing software to correct a part of the recorded sound in order to control the track dynamics. You can also add EQ (equalization) plug-in to correct irregular frequencies and boost or reduce the volume of a particular instrument or sounding frequency.
