Yes, you'll mess up the EQ and compression when you start mixing metal, but that's usually not the biggest problem you'll face.

One of the biggest metal mixing mistakes I've run into doing mix crits on my Patreon and with my 1on1 students is easily about balance.

It's shocking because the volume fader is such a powerful tool and would help you avoid so many common metal mixing errors that I decided to make this video demonstrating mix balance, and talking about the most common issues causing it.

Maybe you'll consider this a "Metal mixing tips for beginners" kind of video, but I assure you, this is a skill that must be practiced because it'll lead you down a dark, long, frustrating rabbit hole of making metal mixing EQ and compression errors... when all you had to do was turn it down... or up!

Let me show you what I mean.
