I DO NOT CLAIM TO BE “DOING IT RIGHT”… This is how I do things, and I do work on a professional level (meaning I make actual $ $ $ ). If this is “wrong” according to your college/highschool music teacher I don’t really care. There’s no wrong way to mix or master music, as long as it sounds good then why does it matter how it’s done?

These tips for Mixing and Mastering will work with any DAW, just not FL Studio 10. All you have to do is add your sounds to whatever mixer track you have for your DAW and use your DAW’s parametric EQ and bam! You can do it there too.
