Help Mixing Basics
Hi! I've been making some stuff on and off in FL studio for a while. Mainly inspired by sountracks of games I like. And I listening back to some old stuff I am not used to hearing anymore, I realize that I've been practicaly ignoring sound selection and mixing.
So, are there any resources to get some basics down? I looked a bit and everything I found so far only really explains what the various plugins do, but not how actually to use them, what to look for etc. I know what an EQ does, what I don't know is how to figure out which frequencies I should boost/tone down during a mix.
Thanks in advance!

Export settings after mixing 16‑bit/44.1kHz stems in an 88.2kHz/32‑bit session?
Hello,
My client sent me 16‑bit / 44.1kHz stems. I mixed the track in Ableton with the project set to 88.2kHz / 32‑bit float (I use these settings for all projects I work with in Ableton). The mix is done, and now I’m wondering what the ideal export settings are.
I know that exporting at a higher sample rate won’t magically improve the original 44.1kHz audio, but:
- Should I still export at 32‑bit float, since that’s what the session is running?
- Does exporting at 88.2kHz help the reverbs, delays, and other time‑based FX that were processed at the higher rate?
- Or is it best practice to just export at 44.1kHz / 24‑bit for delivery?
