The thing with room acoustics and all of those aspects, you could spend thousands and never be happy. Then bounce the audio and reverse the sound to create ambient effects. Reverse MIDI notes and record them with an instrument track. Like use delays as a phaser or chorus effect by using discreet values and touch of feedback and modulation. I like to experiment plug-ins, mix them up and abuse them. Keep it musical and not everything has to be precise. There is tonnes of stuff I do however whether it is right or wrong is another story.Use a RMS meter such as the one in Adaptive Limiter. Then from your stereo master produce your lossy formats although I think FLAC or ALAC are better music formats if a little larger. MP3 and general lossy formats will discard certain frequencies, however always save your master as a WAV/AIFF first. Low end frequencies are hard too or impossible to produce on small speakers or with certain formats.During mixing I keep this between -23 and -20dBFS. Currently I aim for between -18dBFS and -16dBFS for my average mix level.For EDM, I use the Kick drum as my target loudness and never compress along with others until the very end of the project.Even if this is never automated, it means whenever a track is automated or mistakenly reset - the original volume differences will be maintained. Group each fader for related tracks together for the same category.Although I find this is a ready reckonner to balance each track. This may not be necessary on every occasion if you have a treated studio. Which is when I can only hear the pink noise when the track is soloed. Use pink noise (C-Weighted, 0dBFS) to level tracks and adjust the faders to suit.Follow Bus colour allows you to quickly assign tracks to groups and find them easier during mixing and arrangement.
#Waves gtr3 plugin bleeding over to other tracks code
Colour code my tracks (with slightly different hues to signify slight differences in the same group).So this is the presuming you have all of your tracks recorded and at hand. For some of this might seem to over the top or unproductive. I am going to list some of things I do when mixing and arranging in Sonar these days.
