The old-school recording rule says you should never mix while you produce. Keep your tracking brain and your mixing brain completely separate. But what if that rule is actually killing your workflow, slowing down your momentum, and stopping you from finishing your tracks?

In this video, I break down my unconventional workflow in Logic Pro where I mix as I produce, prioritizing the feel and sonic landscape from the very first track.

I’ll show you why dialing in your vocal chain—adding your compressors, reverbs, and delays right during the tracking phase—gives you a definitive, inspiring picture of the final product. When your core elements sound like a finished record from the start, it completely changes how you build the rest of your arrangement. You stop over-producing, you stop fighting "forever mixes," and you start making confident decisions that allow a song to practically mix itself.

Are you a traditionalist who keeps tracking and mixing strictly separated, or do you build the mix on the fly? Let me know your workflow in the comments below!
