(Compliments of MPC Sounds.com)
If you're serious about your career as a Top Music Producer or Engineer, then be sure to collect all of the 5 essential mixes listed below for each song you lay to the mixed master:
1) Main Master Mix - This is the main mix to be used for album, single, and radio releases. It's the mix that appeals to the widest audience of listeners.
2) Raised Vocals Mix - Just like your main master mix, only with both lead and background vocals raised in level by approximately 1 to 2 decibels. Depending on the demand for your music, industry types may request this special mix.
3) Lowered Vocals Mix - Just like your main master mix, only with both lead and background vocals lowered in level by approximately 1 to 2 decibels. Vocal performances can make or break a hit. Make sure you have this mix on hand in case later the main master mix is voted against.
4) Television Live Performance Mix - Just like your main master mix, only with no lead vocal. This mix will be used for television and other types of live performances.
5) Instrumental Mix - Just like you main master mix, only with no lead or background vocals. This mix serves as material for radio and television promotions, as well as, giving you the freedom to record different vocal/lyrical performances over the main instrumental mix at a later date. Also, this mix enables you to later edit & rearrange your song without having to redo the instrumental part of the main master mix!
