Before starting the ‘Basics of Mixing’

This article was written on February 19, 2024. I will speed up as much as possible to match the speed of the blog I am currently running in Korea.

Hi, this is mixing engineer, music producer Jooyoung Kim.

I’ve spent a lot of time studying and delving into audio engineering on my own, but I’ve realized I haven’t written much about it on my blog.

Last December, I completed a manuscript on mixing and sent it to several publishers. While waiting for a response, I planned to write blog posts based on the manuscript once the book was published. However, the responses are taking longer than expected, and if it doesn’t work out, I don’t want to keep delaying. So, I’ve decided to start writing now.

The content might be a bit challenging. The primary goal of my writing is to address the lack of advanced mixing topics in Korea. While there are plenty of books covering the basics, there’s a shortage of resources for more in-depth knowledge.

If I simply transfer the manuscript directly to the blog, some parts might be difficult to read. Therefore, I’ll be adapting the content to fit the blog format, making it more accessible.

Some might wonder why I’m writing about mixing. I admit that my career isn’t particularly long or illustrious, and my academic background(major in Physics) isn’t in this field, which makes me feel somewhat apprehensive. Nevertheless, I’m convinced that many people are eager to learn more about advanced mixing techniques. Despite feeling a bit of pressure, I’m determined to share my knowledge.

Given the extensive nature of the topic, it will take quite some time to cover everything. I aim to write a post on this subject roughly once a week. However, I won’t focus solely on mixing; I’ll continue to write about a variety of topics, just as I have been.

Looking forward to diving into the main content with you in the next post. See you then!
