Here's an old thread I started 2 years ago on critically listening to a known song, and making extensive notes on arrangement and production (and ultimately mixing).

This underlines my point about 'getting good at mixing' first involves understanding of arrangement. All points about making good track recordings above do still apply, but unless you can arrange the mix, you will likely not end up with professional sounding recordings.


It's Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'"
