■ Audio mixing is a crucial stage in music production. Combines multiple individual

tracks into a final stereo track. It ensures that each element of the musical arrangement
is heard clearly and in harmony.

 Mixing Process
EQ y Dynamic

Equalization:
Eliminate unwanted frequencies and highlight tonal characteristics. my example:
Drums: High pass filter on the kick and boost around 100 Hz.
Voices: Low pass filter and boost at 2-4 kHz.
Compression:
Control the dynamics of each track. My example:
Bass: Compressor with fast attack to smooth out transient peaks.

■ Kick With Mix: Voice: With mix: Bass With Mix:

 Conclusion

The mixing process requires attention to detail and understanding of frequencies and
dynamics and strategic use of EQ, compression, effects and panning to transform a raw
