FULL INDIE ROCK Mixing Tutorial | Part 4: AUTOMATION & Finishing Touches

This is the 4th and final part of my FULL SONG Indie Rock Mixing Series! 🎚️🎶 In this video, I take my full, static mix of the song and add all of the finishing touches, automation and mixing magic that I like to use. I also address issues like drum bleed, trigger issues and instrument timing/feel. If you have been struggling to get your mixes to sound 100% professional, this video will help!
🔹 *What you'll learn:*
1. *Automation* - Changing your mix over time
2. *Final Cleaning* - Get rid of any issues that hurt the mix
3. *Secret Tricks* - Some of my favorite tips and tricks that I use on my own mixes
3. *Featuring Instruments* - Make sure the right track is heard at the right time
Throughout the video, I share some of my favorite 3rd party plugins as well as some great alternatives that Logic's stock plugins can offer.
