When I started in music production, I wished that I could have someone that could answer all of the questions I had and explain everything and expand my understanding in the areas I was lacking. The difficulty is that the whole area of music production is great, not to mention most people have their own unique way of doing things. I'm now going to give you some pieces of advice that are crucial in your success and will help you to pave a path to a pro music production.
Do not mix for too much time ; let your ears rest - it is critical to take breaks during mixing. For each hour you are mixing a track allow a 20 mins break. This is quite hard if you are doing PC music production, as the computer you will be mixing on will no doubt be in the room you spend almost all of your time. Now. No-one actually sticks to this break-time formula as regular clockwork but it is something to aim for and maybe let this time overlap a little.
I say to take 5 earlier if you are working on a little incessant section of a song for a while, as your consciousness will just 'let go' and not be pointy and anything will sound amazing after a bit sabotaging any plan to get a professional music production finished.
Do not mix in a big spacious environment - Anything that alters the sound of your track that's outside of PC music production or a mixing desk is an issue. If you mix like this, you might get a pro music production out of your track but after you take it out of the room you mixed it in it will sound totally terrible as the ambiance and acoustics of that room are not present.
Do not mix a music track on the same day recording it - This is for two reasons. First reason would be as you use 2 different parts of your brain to do each. For one you've got to really concentrate hard and the other is the opposite, you need to concentrate too but you also need forget what you are doing and sense or feel.
The second reason would be caused by the likely levels your ears have had exposure to during recording, some artists / bands wouldn't have this but they would have the 1st reason as a reason not to do both mixing and recording on one day. It can be hard if you're working on a P. C. music production but you must learn to leave it alone and give your intelligence and ears a rest ; do something that uses your other senses and do not sit in the same place that you're going to mix in when you're not mixing.
