Muting The Instruments

Hey everyone today i have a great tip for you on opening up your mix and this is something you can do if you fell your mix is to muffled and all the instrument's fell like there not in your face to you, so hear a few tips to help you get wider mixes. First one lets say your coming out of a chorus of your song and you cant hear the harmonies to your song hears a great way to bring it forward mute a few guitar after the chorus and just leave the piano, vocals, drums, & bass, in the song and mute the guitar for just a few seconds and then as the chorus is coming up bring them back in. Because hears the thing guys you have to think of it this way just by muting some instruments could make your whole song sound amazing because once you mute then you'll be like wow listen to those harmonies those where all ready there, there was just something covering them up so by muting some instruments to make it more open can really bring your song to the next level. 

Another way you can make your some fell a lot more open is by using volume automation 
like when you get to a part in the song where you fell you just don't want to hear that instrument then bring your volume automation to zero and then build as your going into the chorus and then as your going into the verses you can bring the volume down.

So you have to remember that there are a whole bunch of ways you can do this to help your mix fell more open and come together sometimes its all ready in your mix and you just have to find it or sometimes you need to play around and think like a producer and say maybe i should try this and see if this works cause if it dose then it will really help my mix come together a lot faster smoother and Easter 
So as your sitting in your studio or where ever you do your music think like a producer and don't be afraid to try things because sometimes the stuff you try really dose help. 
I will give you a tip that i do when i fell i want to get rid of something in my mix i just mute it and then play it back to see if it sounds good i don't get ride of it yet because I don't know if it is going to sound good or not but if i cant decide then i leave it and come back to it latter so when your in the studio think like a producer don't think to hard Theo and remember you don't need the biggest and the best equipment in the world to make great music you could just have a one input audio interface and you can still make great music on that

For a year i made great music on a one input audio interface i mean you don't need a lot of plugins just stick to the basics and you can make great music go out there and do it.
