Must Know Project management tips for all upcoming Music Mixing Engineers
Assuming you are mixing for an album called ‘Sunshine’ for a client called ‘Mark Thomas’ , the song is called ‘Sweet summer breeze’ and is a simple song at 100bpm, 4/4 signature and in D major. The following is what I do.Make a folder called Mark Thomas'(client name). In this make another folder called ‘Sunshine'(Album name). Now create a Protools/Logic/Cubase/Cakewalk/Ableton/Nueundo/FL/Reaper/Acidpro/Mixcraft or whatever DAW session as ‘Sweet Summer Breeze’. You will have a folder and a session file with the same name created automatically. Save the session file and not the folder as ‘Sweet summer breeze 25/6/15’ in case you are mixing today. Save the file with a new date subsequently, e.g. next day will be ‘Sweet Summer breeze 26/6/15’.Import the stem files, organize your session well and start mixing. Save the next song as a different session name in the ‘Sunshine’ folder and do the same for other songs of the same album.
