Top Down Mixing vs Bottom Up: This video explores the debate between top-down mixing vs bottom-up approaches. The top-down approach involves adding processing to the entire mix from the beginning. In contrast, the bottom-up approach involves processing individual tracks first. Both methods have pros and cons, but which is the right way to mix?

The best video I've seen on this "topic."

I try to do bottom up as much as I CAN, but I certainly do not exclude the idea of top down. Most of the times I see myself doing BOTH, and at the end of the day, if you reached the sound you wanted you got the job done. You cant listen to a track and guess if it was top down or bottom up mixed (that doesn't even make sense). So everything is valid to achieve the desired sound.

Personally, I'm dead against the top down, having tested the results of both approaches. Getting it right from the source is my primary focus and bottom up mixing aligns with this philosophy for me.

Bottom up mixing even for me 🤙

I've only just started playing around with home studio production, but I've done a little bit of live mixing and some studio and location recording in the past. The only time I would imagine myself doing a strictly top-down mix is if it's a live recording with a limited number of tracks and you want your mix to sound like the performance. Otherwise, I don't see the point, as if you spend a lot of time on a mix, then work your way down, by the time you've played with the tracks the top-level mix will sound different and you'll have to spend time re-doing it. I'd do a very basic top-level mix first, to see where everything sits and plan what I'm going to do to the tracks, but the real mix would come at the end. Maybe that's inefficient, but I'm still working this stuff out. Good video!

I've tried top-down several times in the past, and even though I mix faster I just can't get the results I want, because of many issues that the source tracks have.

@SPLMixing Год назад

Yeah, look, it can work if the tracks are very well prepared and balanced, but that's essentially just another form of bottom up mixing. You're experience very much mirrors my own.
