2. EQ in the mix and only use the Solo button when absolutely necessary
So you’ve got a great sound, it’s well-compressed, and you need to fit it into your mix. EQ is a powerful tool for creating cohesive mixes. Balancing the frequencies at play is crucial to pro results. Chances are you can hear where your sound is lacking or not fitting in. It would be so easy to simply hit that yellow S button, make your adjustments, and move on with your life.

The problem is, it doesn’t matter how great your growl bass sounds alone. EQing a mix is theatre, and your leading man can’t carry the show. If the supporting players (other tracks) don’t gel, no one will want to listen. Soloing is a great way to identify problem areas, but you should always EQ your tracks in context.
