Ready for Mixdown?

[EightMilesHigh]

I’ve finished recording, comping, and “removing silence.”

My tracks sound good to me, but is there anything else I should be doing? Is anything else typically done to all tracks prior to mixdown that is universal?

Not that I can think of...

Typically, the rest of your tweaking should be done during the mixing stage. Adjusting eq's, compression, effects, etc. as you go to whatever you need to make each track fit in the mix as you see (or hear) fit. When I learned to edit and tweak tracks while listening to the entire mix, and not by themselves, it made a big difference in my final product.
