50 Mixing Tips From Steven Slate
Posted on July 22nd, 2013. Written by Dan Comerchero.
I didn’t put this blog post together just because I want to collaborate with Steven Slate on an app that teaches
people how to tune drums.
I did it because he’s been dropping knowledge on Twitter for over a year now. So I thought I’d gather up all
the tweets and put them in one place for you to digest.
Take a minute to read through these for some fresh inspiration.
Thank him by following, ReTweeting, or checking out some of the awesome plug-ins Slate Digital has been
putting out lately.

Thanks for posting. I've been compressing my reverb returns since day one. It just seemed right.
I caught a lot of crap from people telling me not to. Its nice to see that someone with a lot of
success is validating that I was on the right path!

Thanks for compiling the list! I think definitely some of the drum, snare and frequency tips will help
me out in the future with my sounds. I always consider my mixing to be a bit on the dull side so I
really appreciate this list! Feel free to check out some of my songs and let me know what you
think. http://alloydgd.tumblr.com/
