Mixing is central to all audio work, including sound design and synthesis. And a good mixer offers unique features and, well, sounds good. In this episode, we cover many universal concepts (gain-staging, wet/dry blends, pre-/post-routings, etc.), while seeing Bitwig’s special powers and hidden treats. Once you know your mixer, you might just make it an instrument. 🎛️ 🎵
