If you’ve been mixing music for a little while now, you’ve probably gotten a hold of the basics. That said, you’re probably looking for some techniques you haven’t come across yet.
Although mixing fundamentals are always important, let’s look at 5 advanced mixing techniques that you can use to affect your mix in a unique way. These techniques vary in the forms of processing used and the routing that’s involved.
Some are more complex like recording an effect using a midi environment, and some you may have come across before like using kick and bass ducking.
Regardless, hopefully, these techniques inspire some new mixing ideas or can help you solve a problem in your mix.

Record an Effect Using a Midi Environment
So I admit, this first one isn’t technically a mixing technique, but it does heavily affect mixing and can greatly improve your mixes if you’re working in a digital work station.
Also, it does include processing that would occur during mixing so we might as well cover it.
This particular technique is great for any engineer that’s working on a computer that cannot handle a significant amount of processing.
You can use your midi environment to record effects on your track
Maybe you’re working on a laptop or an older computer (or both), and you’re running into constant errors, freezing, or crashes - if so, this technique is a great way to use all of the effects you want without clogging up your computer’s processing power.
In short, you can use a certain section of your DAW, known as the ‘Midi Environment’ to record processing like EQ, compression, reverb, or whatever you’d like directly onto your recorded signal.
It works by routing your incoming signal through another channel strip prior to the digital signal actually being recorded into your DAW. Here’s how to accomplish this routing in Logic Pro X.
First, you’ll need to enable the Advanced Tools setting. To do this:
Step 1: Click ‘Logic Pro X’ in the application menu bar, then scroll over ‘Preferences,’ find ‘Advanced Tools’ and select it.
Logic Pro X > Preferences > Advanced Tools
Step 2: Enable ‘Show Advanced Tools.’
Enable Show Advanced Tools
You should now be able to access your Midi Environment and perform the technique.
To find this Midi Environment and Perform the technique follow these steps:
Step 1: Using the application menu bar at the top of your screen, find the section titled ‘Window,’ scroll down and click on ‘Open Midi Environment.’ Alternatively, you can press ‘Command + 0.’
Window > Open MIDI Environment
With your Midi Environment open you should see what looks a lot like your mixer - this includes your tracks, outputs, click tracks, and any other track that you’ve created. From here you need to create an input track.
Step 2: To create an input track click ‘New’ above your Midi Environment mixer, and scroll down until you see ‘Channel Strip,’ From there select ‘Input.’
Within Midi Environment Window: New > Channel Strip > Input
This will create an input channel that routing wise, is between your track and your incoming signal.
Step 3: Insert a plugin on your new input channel strip. You can now record your incoming signal with this processing included, meaning when you playback your recorded signal this effect will be included.
Insert plugins on your new input channel fader
Your first question may be, ‘Doesn’t this mean I need to commit to this processing?’
Yes - if you record your incoming signal in this way then there is no way to undo the processing that you’ve recorded. With that said, you need to be careful with what processing you choose to record.
One of the best ways to use this technique is to use processing you know that you’ll need but won’t want to alter. 3 forms of processing that you may want to record are:
- Some analog emulation and harmonic generation
- A low pass filter for most instruments and vocals
- Some mild compression to balance dynamics
Perhaps the best choice is to use a channel strip plugin which will include all 3 of these forms of processing.
Some of the processing you might want to include is shown above.
Recording your signal in this way closely models how professional engineers record - typically, engineers will record their signal through a compressor, a low-pass filter, and perhaps some mild eq.
Just as important, recording your initial compression and equalization in this manner means you won’t need to use it later on - in turn freeing up some processing power during mixing.
2. Use Inverse Equalization to Clear Space in a Mix
This technique is one of my personal favorites, as the effects are not only easy to achieve, but 9 times out of 10 greatly improve mix clarity.
Essentially, the effect works by matching the frequency response of two similar instruments or instrument groups and then inverting the new frequency curve to create the opposite of matching.
In turn, everything that was similar about the two tracks is attenuated, and everything that sets them apart is amplified.
Let’s look at this process step by step:
Step 1: After picking the two tracks that you’d like to separate, insert an eq plugin capable of eq matching on one of them. For this example, we’ll be using the FabFilter Pro Q 3 , which is a great option for this technique if you’d like to perform it.
Use an eq plugin that is capable of EQ Matching
Step 2: Enable the eq match function by clicking ‘EQ Match,’ and then change the side chain to the other track you picked out. So for example, if you’re trying to separate your vocal and guitar, and you inserted the eq plugin on the vocal track, then your side-chain input will be your guitar track.
The EQ Match tab pops up after hovering over the Pre+Post tab
Switch the side-chain to the signal you're matching your signal to.
Step 3: Set your reference as your side-chain and then play your track. The eq matching should automatically begin to take place. After an appropriate amount of time, stop playing the signal, and click match.
When you click match, you'll be able to determine how many bands you generate. Typically for this technique, more is better.
Step 4: The FabFilter Pro Q 3 will create multiple bands and filters to match the frequency response of this signal with that of the side-chained signal - but this isn’t what we want.
Notice that some bands are too extreme
Because we want these two tracks to sound opposite to one another and not identical, we’ll need to highlight all of the created bands, and using the gain rotary invert them.
Step 5: Some of the bands that were created will most likely be pretty extreme - too much so for our purposes here, so when we invert the created bands it’s best to make the inversion amount 3 to 5dB. See the screenshot below to understand what exactly I mean by this.
Inversing the gain needs to be done subtly.
You can make this effect as extreme as you want; however, it’s best to keep the gain changes pretty mild if you want it to sound natural in any way.
3. Introduce Plugin Automation to Create Varied Effects
One of the biggest grievances I have with a fair deal of mixes is that the process stays the same throughout the entirety of a song.
When it comes to compression or eq, this is totally understandable - but if a vocal or guitar has the same delay, reverb, or saturation on it throughout the entire track I usually find myself becoming bored with the mix quickly.
Fortunately, plugin automation is an easy way to remedy this , as it allows us to quickly write or program in changes to the functions of various plugin parameters, in turn making this processing variable and unexpected.
Although you can truly automate any functions of your plugins, let’s look at a few valuable examples.
The first is increasing or decreasing the delay time on a vocal or instrument. To accomplish this you could simply follow these steps:
Step 1: Enable Automation
The automation tab is above your tracks
Step 2: Click on the automation type tab and find your delay plugin
The automation type tab usually defaults to Volume
Step 3: Find the parameter you want to affect, and select it
Your plugin will most likely have many parameters that you can control.
Step 4: On your track create your automation points
Drawing automation can give you very accurate and precise control over the plugin's parameter.
Once you’ve created your automation, listen to it to review the effect and ensure it’s what you want.
You can follow this process for compression, saturation, and so on. For example, increasing the saturation amount of a vocal in a particular section can be a great effect that creates a unique and unexpected moment for listeners.
You can also enable the latch function and then simply adjust the parameter during playback. This will write the points for you.
If manually entering in automation data isn’t your favorite thing to do, or you find it to be too time-consuming, you can also use the ‘Latch’ function to write this automation data.
Simple switch the automation type on your track from ‘Read’ to ‘Latch.’ With the track playing alter the function you want to automate - this will create automation data specific to that function.
4. Use Kick and Bass Ducking to Separate the Two
Using compression for ducking has been a popular effect for decades. Simply put, ducking allows you to trigger a compressor via another signal.
This effect is used in live or DJ settings when a speaker wants the music to dim when they are speaking. It’s also commonly heard in dance music to create a pumping effect.
For our purposes, we’re going to cover how to use ducking to create some mild separate between the kick and bass tracks. By accomplishing this effect, you can have the kick attenuate when the bass plays, and vice versa - in turn creating some sonic space for both.
Let’s look at this process step-by-step:
Step 1: Insert a compressor on your kick or bass track. This compressor will need to have side-chain functionality.
The FabFilter compressor is a good option for this technique
Step 2: Alter the side-chain setting. So if you’ve put your compressor on your kick, you should side-chain the bass, or if you put your compressor on your bass, you could side-chain the kick.
Set your side-chain input to either kick or bass, depending on how you want to use the effect.
Step 3: On the plugin that we’re using, we need to accomplish one extra step, which is to set the side-chain setting to external . Depending on the plugin you’re using, this may or may not be needed.
For this plugin, you'll need to set the side-chain to external
Step 4: Slowly change your threshold, ratio, and any other setting you want to affect.
Affect you settings until you achieve the amount of compression that you want.
You’ll notice that the compressor is not triggered by the signal of the instrument on which it’s inserted, but instead by the side-chained signal.
So if you inserted the compressor on your bass track and side-chained your kick drum, then the bass signal will be attenuated whenever the kick is hit. So, the compressor will compress the bass guitar depending on when the kick’s signal is present.
When creating this effect be sure to use it sparingly. Like most things, using this effect in an extreme way will create an undesired and unnatural sound.
With that said, you can use this effect in an aggressive or excessive way for a creative effect.

5. Use Groups or Auxiliary Sends to Organize Your Session
Using groups or sends to organize your mixes is one of the best ways to control your mix and to affect it in a professional and time-efficient manner.
Sessions can become daunting pretty quickly if not organized.
Although many engineers like to use groups, I personally enjoy creating stereo auxiliary tracks to group my instruments - but let’s cover both techniques.
If you’d like to organize your sessions with groups, it’s as easy as selecting the group tab on your channel strip, creating a group, and then adding similar instruments to that group.
From there you can choose what collective processing that group will entail - for example, you can make it so a group’s volume is collectively controlled, or it’s pan is collectively controlled, and so on.
You can control all of the parameters shown to the left, via a group.
This technique is great; however, you may notice that it slows you down if you want to affect one channel in a group individually since you’ll need to deactivate the track from the group, make that change, and then put the track back in the group.
Instead, I like to create auxiliary sends for each selection of instruments, and then solo those auxiliary sends.
Let’s look at this step-by-step:
Step 1: Highlight all of the instruments you’d like to group together and send them all to the same bus or auxiliary track. Set the send of these busses to unity . If done right, the auxiliary track will have the exact same volume and effects as all of these individuals put together.
Group similar instruments together and send them to a stereo auxiliary track via a bus.
Step 2: Follow this same process for each group of instruments - for example, you could send all of your synth tracks to one send, and all of your drums tracks to one send, and so on.
Follow this for each similar group of instruments
Step 3: Once all of your instrument groups have been sent to their respective auxiliary tracks, you can solo these auxiliary tracks and have your full mix play from these tracks.
These auxiliary tracks should now contain the entirety of your mix.
Essentially what you’re doing is funneling all of your individual tracks through these auxiliary tracks, which in turn get funneled into your primary stereo output.
By soloing your auxiliary tracks you can easily control the overall volume of your group via the auxiliary track’s channel fader, or you can add processing to the entire group of instruments via these auxiliary-channel inserts, control the pan and so on.
Additionally, you can still affect the individual tracks that make up the auxiliary tracks. You can control any aspect of them and hear these changes in the relative auxiliary channel, or you can simply solo the individual channel if you’d like to hear the changes.
Perhaps the most convenient aspect of this routing is that you can create stems for your mix in an incredibly easy way. Simply solo the auxiliary track that you want to create a stem of and export it.
If you like this mixing set up and want to see why stems may be an important part of mixing, check out our blog post on stem mastering and how it’s beneficial:

Review by James T.
The engineers at Sage Audio could not have made my first commercial audio experience any better! Every time I emailed to get a question answered, I worked with the same person consistently.
They know what they are doing; after listening to my masters on numerous systems, I heard my music in a whole new light. My bass and kick were tighter, not muddy, and hit with the "grit" that I intended. My mids and highs were clear, vibrant, and presented well on all stereos and devices.
I could have never achieved this level of quality without their diligent minds and professional know-how! If you are looking to get your project up to a commercial level while meeting a budget, Sage Audio is the place to go!
Review by Rebecca D.
Sage Audio is by far the best mastering service! They are the most professional, kind, and loyal people. Every song they mastered was spot on!
For artists looking to have their music mastered, they have an awesome and affordable mastering membership and are dedicated to making every mix sound like a professional master. Thank you, Sage Audio, for transforming my music!
Review by Daniel S.
The last ten years of my audio mixing career have been plagued by frustration, self-doubt, and compulsive shopping for magic game-changing plugins that can fix my poor mixes... guess what... it was all wasted time and money; I was shooting in the dark.
Until now.
I had heard about Sage Audio a long time ago, but at that time, their pricing seemed too expensive - how wrong I was.
Firstly, there is no substitute for hard work; you must do your part; what this service gave me was perspective - what's different about this master from my own? why? what am I missing? how can I improve my final mixdown in order to get the best possible master?
The included courses are really useful and well explained, but to me, the real power is the community of engineers offering their feedback; there's nothing like a second set of ears, or a lot of sets of ears! Getting other engineers' advice is priceless, and fixing common problems suddenly became very simple.
The best part is that I have made a bunch of mixes on my own now and am starting to get incredibly good responses - my confidence is up, with no additional plugins, no new DAW, not even new monitors.
I've been a Sage Audio member for about 9 months now, and all services are excellent. The 1-on-1 mixing feedback is incredibly helpful, and the professional community is way more active than I could have imagined. I'll be here for the long haul. So, if you're ready to take your music to the next level and change a lot of misconceptions, this is your place!
Review by Thomas E.
I am a musician and songwriter with decent recording skills, but I could never get my final mixes mastered to where the EQ, volume, and clarity sounded good on all playback systems without distortion.
I did extensive research on mastering and tried expensive studio headphones, but I never quite "mastered" mastering. It was very frustrating and took way too much time away from my music.
Then I found Sage Audio, and it sounded like just the service I needed at a reasonable price, so I joined their membership.
It was a game-changing decision. They always respond quickly and are focused on pleasing their customers. They mastered several of my songs, and they all came out perfect.
One of them took three takes because I had to change some levels and panning, but each time, they said, "No problem, we want you to be 100% happy with the final master."
They even asked for ways to improve their service, and they have a unique service where you can upload your mixes and receive feedback directly from them for improvement. I also found in the community, there are great musicians, singers, and songwriters to collaborate with for future projects.
In summary, Sage Audio has saved me a lot of time and provided great masters for my songs, way better than I could have ever done! I give them my highest recommendation.
Review by Frank B.
I've been using Sage Audio for a while now and have been very pleased with their professionalism and quality of work!
I'm NOT new to the audio production world and have been mixing and self-mastering for over a decade. I've used Grammy-winning mastering engineers as well as online AI-driven mastering services, so I know the full range of mastering services available to artists and their producers.
What sets Sage apart, IMO, and, in my experience, is that they are very customer-centric and will do almost anything to make the customer happy with their work. An example is a recent master I wasn't 100% happy with because it was too compressed for Classical material. They jumped right on it, giving me another more gently compressed master, which I'm delighted with. This was a NO EXTRA CHARGE. I know from experience that this isn't the norm in this industry, where egos prevail.
An example of Sage's superior work is when a client I'm working with wanted proof that it was better than a well-known, low-cost AI-driven mastering service. While my instructions to both Sage and the online service were close, only Sage had a human to interpret some of the instructions. As a result, the Sage master was considerably LOUDER and had more HEADROOM to boot. You can't ask for much more for a Pop song.
In summary, I'd recommend Sage to anyone looking for professional mastering for their upcoming release.
Give them a shot. I'm sure you'll be pleased.
Review by Dan Y.
Sage Audio has been a lifesaver for me. Mastering was my weakest point, and I only wish I could've found them sooner. I have used their services for the last 6 months and have also recommended them to several of my musician friends. Every track I send comes back sounding brilliant.
I once experimented by mastering one of my songs by myself, by another leading mastering studio, and also by Sage Audio. Sage's master was hands-down the best: clear, loud, yet dynamic, and the overall sound was smooth. I can say with 100% confidence Sage Audio is the best mastering service around.
It's also a pleasure connecting with their team on a personal level; they are very attentive to details and respond fast.
Review by Irene F.
I found Sage Audio when I was searching for a company that could master my original songs. My initial email was responded to in less than ten minutes. I explained my situation, then created an account and uploaded my mix for mastering.
I let my engineer know what was bothering me in the song and what I would like it to sound like. In a short time, he sent me a notification email to download the master and asked if it was to my liking.
On first listen, it blew me away, as it contained everything I had asked for, and the sound was vibrant, clear, and, quite frankly, perfect. I've been with Sage Audio ever since - they're so easy to work with, friendly, eager to help, and highly professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
Review by Aaron C.
I first used Sage audio 3 years ago to get an album mastered. I hadn't used an outside service for mastering before, so I didn't know exactly what to expect, but I had learned a lot from the Sage Audio YouTube channel and liked the clear, concise way the videos explained various audio principles, so I felt comfortable using their services.
Not only did the masters sound amazing (dynamic, but still as loud as I wanted), but the engineer answered all of my questions and responded to my emails almost immediately.
To add to that, considering all the services you get with the membership is an incredible deal - it Includes mastering, mixing feedback, courses, and community. It's everything you need, and their customer service is top-notch.
As good as their YouTube videos are, I knew this would be a fantastic resource; as a college professor myself, I recognize excellent instruction, and Sage has a knack for breaking down complex processes and demonstrating how plugins work in concise bursts that never overwhelm the learner.
More importantly, you will come to understand when to use the tools in your arsenal and why to do so. You, thus, are learning how to ask better questions of the mastering engineers that you have access to through your membership, and ultimately, you are being empowered to become an engineer yourself!
Review by John G.
I started using Sage Audio to master my songs about three to four years ago - I wish I had found them earlier. Their mastering makes my mixes sound like professional songs, and they're a delight to work with.
Also, they have a very active community of musicians, producers, and engineers, along with mixing and mastering courses - which have provided me with so much useful information. On top of that, the mixing feedback is excellent, and they continually provide thoughtful suggestions, which I've found invaluable for improving my mixes. It's worth checking them out - you will not be disappointed.
Review by Brandon T.
I had Sage Audio master my last 3 albums, and I plan to use them for my next release too. They do an exceptional job of creating balance and clarity for each project, and they are so friendly and helpful when it comes to answering questions and offering suggestions.
Their experience is invaluable, and they have truly insightful feedback when it comes to mixing and mastering. I have tried other companies in the past and came back to Sage to get that professionally polished sound every time.
Review by Ben V.
A few months ago, a friend of mine recommended I try Sage Audio for my final master's. Being a mix engineer myself, I was hesitant at first due to the fact that in the past, when using online mastering, I found that no engineer would care for the track as much as I would.
Knowing the basic rule that you always want to have another set of ears to master anything you've mixed, I realized I had hit a plateau in how far I could take my final master. To my surprise, Sage and the team took my master's to a level I could not reach, both dynamically and sonically.
I'm a full-time artist who is constantly recording, releasing, and traveling. The burden that the Sage team has taken off my shoulders by being a trustworthy mastering service is tremendous.
They have provided me with quick turnarounds while out of the country to meet deadlines for releases and are understanding & receptive when I request changes after hearing a master, even going as far as to follow up with me, confirming that I am 100% happy with the final master, quoting, "I'm not happy unless you're happy."
Another benefit to Sage Audio is their library of mixing and mastering tutorials. Any good sound engineer knows that there are a million ways to reach a rich, dynamic final mix or mastering and that you're never done learning how to engineer. Sage's courses offer a great refresher on fundamentals and a clear understanding of complex techniques to help push you as an engineer.
Cheers Sage, thanks for the excellent service!
Review by Charlie E.
My writing partner and I have recorded and mixed 2 albums and a few singles, the first 2 albums we did were mastered by a different company. The masters were ok, but from that experience, we developed a better and more critical understanding of the mastering process.
Upon preparing to have our 3th album mastered, we did some research and exploration for other mastering options and found Sage Audio - which is where we had our latest album mastered.
We were both very much impressed with the work, the communication, and the willingness to create the exact sound we wanted for the album. We definitely heard a difference in the mastering - Sage Audio masters are clean, clear, and professional.
On top of that, we really enjoyed receiving mixing feedback, which was really helpful for making adjustments to bring the most out of our mixes before sending for mastering. For anyone seeking true audio professionals, I recommend Sage Audio!
Review by Sam V.
Sage Audio mastering engineers are the best I've ever worked with! I've been an Artist, Songwriter & Producer for over 12 years, and believe me, over the years, I've worked with several studios and countless engineers. But since I connected with Sage Audio, those days are over. I took a chance on something new - sent my first mix to see how it would go, and they didn't waste any time lol, they responded the very next day, and the master I got back far exceeded my expectations.
The level of quality and attention to detail was impressive. It was everything & more than what I hoped for, and now I will never trust my mixes in any other hands. They've quickly become my number 1 go-to-guys for mastering, hands down.
Not to mention, they also give you in-depth mixing feedback to help you improve your mixes before sending them for mastering. You can't go wrong with Sage Audio. These guys definitely deserve all the credit in the world. I would strongly recommend them to anyone out there looking for solid professionals to polish your mix. I can personally promise you, Sage Audio will deliver every time!
Review by Ryan B.
I've been using Sage Audio for mastering my tracks over the past year and a half, and they've been great on every front.
If I need a track mastered within a week, they usually get back to me with a high-quality finished master within a few days, and the cost is negligible compared to what some other studios are charging.
They also have an active community, and their mixing feedback option is super helpful; their suggestions are specific, revealing, and accurate.
I highly recommend them if you're a musician, producer, or mixing engineer who needs that last bit of polish before you release. They're worth every penny.
