Mixing vs. Mastering (Visual + Audio Explanation)

Today we're going to dive into the difference between the mixing process & the mastering process! There is a lot of confusion around what each one is and how they relate to one another! In this video I will explain the difference by showing you on screen examples as well as letting you hear audio examples of a mixed song verses a mastered song. I hope this brings clarity to your brain and allows you to communicate clearly with music make friends or producers you are working with! -Dean

Great video by the way! Love the clear definition and Explanations

[DudeRobot]

This video was perfect! Thank you so much for this! I never really knew what the differences were when people talked to me about mixing and mastering. Then after watching this I realized I do all of this myself anyways lol however, now I know what the phases truly mean!

[drummerwhosings]

Hey man, this was really helpful. I am a drummer and I also starting singing very recently! I've always been a bit intimidated with these two terms "mixing" & "mastering", but as much as I am doing it more and more for my videos every week, I think I am getting a bit better. BUT!! Now that I've watched your video, it really gives me a clear picture of what I am supposed to do. Thanks! Informative video. Plus I love the way you included your patreons too. So cool! Subscribing right away!!
