So I'm into my first ever mix after making several instrumentals, and finally getting monitors to mix with. And I just gotta ask some things.
1. How do you work in your automation clips if some of them you put as volume?
2. (Most important) do you do the mixing right from the start? Like, you mix everything from the start to finish of the track, or do you bring every element into one space where they can all be played at once?
3. Is it okay that I'm constantly checking on my headphones whilst doing it on monitors, or should I do it all on monitors then start tweaking? I just feel like headphones gives me an amazing sense of subtle sounds/reverb/delay and especially just overall balance in volume. I'm New to it all, so even just letting me know how your mixing process works would help me out. Thanks
