  1. Elements That Qualify an Audio Mixing as “GOOD”

  2. Elements of Good Mix Below is a simple list of criteria that must be fulfilled before a mix can be labeled as ‘good’. But, hang on, is that all there is to it? In terms of defining the attributes of a good mix, yes it is. So, what qualifies a mix as good? Cleanliness Clarity Separation Level Balance (Both frequency and stereo field) Environment test

  3. Cleanliness The mix must be clean, with no noise, no hiss, no clicks, no pops or any anomalous artifacts, basically nothing else that does not constitute as part of the recorded audio on any given track.

  4. Clarity The audio must be clear to hear. No mushiness in the recorded audio and no particular bias to any form of EQ.

  5. Separation No bleeding (audio spillage from one channel to another), no mess of shared frequencies and no clashes of frequencies must exist. Each channel must sound distinct & separate from the next/all tracks.

  6. Level No track must exhibit too much quietness or too much loudness. All tracks must be set to nominal values and with a good signal to noise ratio.

  7. Balance There should be a good balance of frequency content in the mix to avoid problems caused while playing the mix through other mediums (club monitors, car hi-fi etc…)

  8. Environment test The mix must sound acceptable in all environments that includes car hi-fi systems, home systems, studio and club systems.
