mix down tips

Im curious, All you producer's out there, after you make your tracks , what are the steps you like to take in order in the mix down step? For example do you automate faders through out the track or what not.

Just picked this up. Haven't read it yet but it was recommended to me by a pro.

Re: mix down tips

compressor/limiter and sonic maximizer on the master channel (not hitting hard inless its a more filtery house track with a lot of pump)

pull all my faders to zero.

start with kick, then add drums and percusion. then i do the bass cause the relationship between the bass and kick is crucial then i start adding the more melodic elements and save vocals for last if there are any.

i usually wind up burying my kick in the end a little so i save a lot of headroom to really push it up at the end.

i also leave headroom for the mastering engineer as well.
