Mixing your own tracks: one at a time, or all together?
      07/08/11 08:38 PM
I'm in the long process of trying to write enough material to put a cohesive album-length bunch of stuff together. I have a few ideas in semi-baked state, and have got to the point where I have one track written, structured and recorded, and ready to make a proper mix of (I've already made a rough mix).

My decision now is whether to go to town on mixing that one track now, and then get on with the rest of the writing & recording - or to keep it at the rough mix stage, finish the rest of the material, then mix the whole lot afterwards.

I'm guessing the second approach would lead to greater overall consistency, but this is my first real stab at 'doing an album' if you want to call it that. My output to now has been rather... discontinuous, so it hasn't mattered before.

What approach do the other good folk here do, and how does it help their progress?
