Mixing
Mixing is creating separation, before you mix you need to;
-Know what sound you want to make
-Balance instruments
-Check acoustics e.g. reflections
-Check sound in different places e.g. car, headphones, speakers, computer etc.
Different speakers make your music sound different e.g. Hi-fi speakers are already colored and Lo-fi has a more natural sound.
You should create a triangle when using speakers to produce music.
One of the biggest problems when mixing is bass, they have long frequencies so no chance to do a full cycle. A standing wave gets trapped in the corner and reflects back before frequency makes a cycle, a bass trap absorbs the standing wave so this does not happen.
When organizing tracks name them before you start mixing anything, listen back to tracks individually even muted ones, and make sure everything is labeled correctly. Color code and add markers. Set DB to 6-12 to set the levels of the other instruments.

I started off by setting a tempo, i then adding a drum beat, i added the melodic instruments in later after i had established a base. I then decided to change the style up by remixing it and adding in fx sounds but i didn't want to lose the original sound so i added the bass in kept one of the melody's.

This is the drum beat i made for disclosure, i started with a simple 4/4 beat on the hi-hat, i then added layers in the gaps so the hi-hat sounded like it was being played live and fast. i used different kiinds of hi-hats to get different textures and tones. They were also different sounds so some were being played on the edge and some were being played on a tightly closed hi-hat, this gave the song the bouncy off beat sound thd original had.
