I have thought about some of the most common mistakes I used to make and that I have seen my students making when working on mixes. I knew it would only be right to bring it to the Wavy Family so we can all continue to get better. 

Some of those mistakes include, not using a reference mix, mixing too loudly, and doing too much.

Wayne! How much do charge for mixing services? and requirements? (file stems) thanks!

[DramaSydETV]

I'm graduating from Full Sail on Feb 8th, and I must say, I've learned more about mixing from you, than the whole time I was there, just saying thank you!!!!

Something I’ve been on is what is the future of music? It constantly changes right. All these people mix to make an imitation track. But trying to make something truly original can be risky. Because the audiences will make it flop or fly. Still what if you can be a pioneer that changed music instead of just making a buck. Food for thought

[OnlyScience]

Practice 10 minute mix drills (static mix). You'll find that you'll mix with your ears more than your eyes while working to be quicker and more efficient.

First off I want to say I salute ya my brother. I had never left one of your informal videos left with unanswered questions. Your professionalism as a great instructor and producer as well. I just had to give you a shout out acknowledging greatness of an Master of the craft from a producer 🙌🏽. I enjoy tuning and anticipating many more to come.

[guitarofdestiny]

Mixing at a normal conversation level is great advice. That thumb joke was fire too haha!👍

[ayokikando]

Amazing advice, #7 caught my attention, you are so right. There are so many built in effects in our DAWs, learn what they all do!

[yuusource]

I like that intro. Great tip very helpful. Thanks buddy 🙏🏽

Wayne... I see the Distressor and LA2A. I have a pair of Distressors and an LA2A now.... Should I add a second LA2A (for stereo matched) or an 1176? Already have the SSL bus compressor that stays there. Figured I’d pick your brain. Love the vintage, colored sound and I have other stuff in the chain etc. Sometimes I dig chaining the comps etc. Thanks!

[charlesgall]

Best intro ever hahaha. Good stuff man. Thanks for this.

[guyroobie]
