How I Ruined Mixes Until I Learned Static Mixing | Inside The Mix

Why do some mixes, even with top plugins and techniques, still sound off? The answer might lie in a step you’re overlooking: the static mix. In this episode of Inside The Mix, Marc Matthews talks with mix engineer Nate Kelmes (‪@SoundDiscussionPodcast‬) to explore: What is a static mix in audio mixing? And why is a static mix important before adding effects? Nate explains how balancing levels and panning, before any processing, can account for 70–80% of a great mix. “If the plugins disappear, the song should still work,” he says. You’ll learn how long to spend on a static mix (hint: 2–3 hours is a sweet spot), what the benefits of starting with a static mix are, and how a static mix improves overall mix quality by building emotion and clarity from the start. Nate also shares how a strong static mix can reduce the need for heavy processing later, making your workflow faster and more intentional. From native DAW tools to vocal automation and top-down mixing, this episode is packed with actionable insights for producers at any level. If you want more cohesive, impactful mixes, this is where it starts. ► ► ► LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE ► ► ► 📲 Follow Nate Kelmes: https://natekelmes.com/ 🎧 Listen to the ‪@SoundDiscussionPodcast‬: https://sounddiscussionpodcast.com/ 🎧 Listen to Microphones and Recording Audio with Mike Senior: https://sounddiscussionpodcast.com/ep... 🎧 Listen to Music, the Industry and Everything Else with Warren Huart: https://sounddiscussionpodcast.com/ep... ► ► ► WAYS TO CONNECT WITH ME ► ► ► 📧 Get weekly FREE tips to your inbox: https://synthmusicmastering.m-pages.c... 👉🏻 Grab exclusive access to BONUS content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1639201/su... ► ► ► FOLLOW ME ► ► ► 📸 INSTAGRAM:   / insidethemixpodcast   🌎 WEBSITE: https://www.synthmusicmastering.com/ ⏱️⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS⏱️⏱️ 0:18 What is a Static Mix in Audio Mixing? 8:12 Why a Static Mix Is Important Before Adding Effects 20:03 How to Transition from Static Mix to Full Mix 29:33 Top-Down Mixing Approach: How It Improves Workflow 38:33 Analog Gear vs Plugins: What Mix Engineers Prefer #musicproductiontips #mixingtips #staticmix #insidethemix #podcast #insidethemixpodcast
