Mix down basics Cubase 5.

 

When your project is ready for mix down, that is

- The Master out level is set at a proper level,

- Volume balancing of individual tracks is adjusted.

- You have paned the individual tracks to a proper position in the stereo field

- You have found a nice reverb (Altiverb) and adjusted the source and effect signal to a suitable balance.
