Practice Your Mixing Skills

Now it’s time to practice your mixing skills. Begin by putting together the components for a home studio. Acquire things like your computer, studio monitors, audio interface, and things of that nature. The next step is to download a DAW and some plugins from the free software section of this site. Next you will need some songs in order to practice your mixing skills. Maybe you already have the studio you want and you already recorded your first project. You may want more inside tips in order to practice your mixing skills successfully. Fortunately, there are free resources for mixing and master.

Cambridge Songs

You can go to the Cambridge library and choose from hundreds of songs. all you need to do is download and import them into your DAW. The full unmixed version of the song is included. These are the kind of projects that professional recording studios receive. Listen to the quick demo of each song and download the ones you like. The more you practice mixing your mixing skills, the better you will get. You will become more familiar with your DAW as a result.

Cambridge Tracks for Mixing

I highly recommend you check out Mixing Secrets For The Small Studio. If you want some free sample music projects to practice your mixing skills then check out the Cambridge Libraries Of Audio Songs. These songs are not mixed. There are anywhere from 17 to 40 tracks per song. All styles of music are covered with hundreds of songs to choose from. The best part is they are all free to download.

Mixing Secrets

I would suggest that you download a few of these songs once your studio is put together and practice mixing them. Export them and then practice mastering them. There is nothing like hands-on experience to help you learn this process.

Cakewalk’s Sonar Platinum

Cakewalk is now free and it use to be known as Sonar Platinum. Bandlab purchased it and brought back the original name. Now they give it away for free. Check out the free software section and learn how to get your free copy. This is my all-time favorite recording application. There are many great DAW software products to choose from these days and I have tried many of them. My favorite software to record all my music with just happens to be Cakewalk by BandLab.
