119. How To Learn A Song (For Mixing)

In Episode 119, the hosts discuss getting into a musician’s mindset to better understand arrangement and improve the overall mix. It benefits us to not only identify the various sections of a performance but also understand what the primary and secondary instruments or parts are and where to place them in the mix. The Church Sound Podcast is sponsored by DiGiCo and Renkus-Heinz.
