This will give you a nice fullscreen view of the mixer rather than a smaller window inside the arrangement view.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also a great idea to color code your tracks to keep things tidy and easily identifiable. This is especially important the more tracks you have to mix! For example, you can start making all of your drum\/percussion tracks the same color. Make a selection by clicking the first track and dragging to the last one. Open up the color picker using Option C and choose whichever makes the most sense to you!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/promixacademy.com\/blog\/adaptive-limiter-logic-pro-x\/\">Mastering Adaptive Limiter in Logic Pro X: A Comprehensive Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Setting Basic Levels: The Start of a Mix<\/h5>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve organized your session to your liking, you can start setting levels! You&#8217;ll first want to get an idea of the overall dynamic range of the song, which can be done by looping a section of a verse and chorus. Listening to this will help you determine where things should begin to sit relative to one another.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/promixacademy.com\/blog\/how-to-fade-in-logic-pro-x\/\">How to Fade in Logic Pro X (Step-By-Step Guide)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At this point you can get hands on and move faders! You&#8217;ll likely find lots of instruments that are way too loud, so you can tuck those in under the others. You&#8217;ll also notice in Logic Pro X that selecting more than one track and moving one&#8217;s fader will move all the selected tracks&#8217; faders simultaneously. This is great for, say, a left and right rhythm guitar, or any other stereo pair of instruments.<\/p>\n<p>Mixing basic levels is a matter of taste and how you interpret the song, so it&#8217;s best to just jump in and get started!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/promixacademy.com\/blog\/spatial-audio-logic-pro-x\/\">How To Mix In Spatial Audio In Logic Pro X<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGSTlwN2hxcE84eWclMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/promixacademy.com\/basic-level-mixing-in-logic-pro-x-cheatsheet\/\">Download the Free Basic Level Mixing in Logic Pro X Cheatsheet here<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Mark Goslett is a London-based music producer and member of the Music Producers Guild.
