Hi,

I'm new to mixing, and I'd like to know how you pros prioritize the various tasks.

Do you mix levels first, then arrange the stereo field? Do you arrange the various sounds in the stereo space to see how it fits before you get too intricate with amplitude? Do you always wait until your levels and pans are taking shape before you start any signal processing?

I'm working on something that has an approaching deadline, so your advice and links are very appreciated. I've also posted this question in the Newbie section. but traffic there seems light, so I thought this forum might be a better bet. Sorry for the cross post.

Thank you!
