When I started out with recording and mixing, I felt like a
lost puppy. I had no idea what was going on. My professors in college would
show me things like EQ and compression and I would just stare into space
feeling massively confused. I felt like there were so many rules and so many
technical know-hows that I would never learn how to be a good audio engineer.
Then I heard the best tip I've ever gotten for mixing.
Don’t be afraid to try
things.
I heard this advice while listening to a podcast from Joe
Gilder and Graham Cochrane called “Simply Recording Podcast.”
