Why Most Home Recordings Fall Apart Before You Ever Mix Them

Most home recordings don’t struggle because of bad plugins or weak mixes.

They struggle because the problems start earlier in the process.

In this video, I explain why many home studio projects fall apart before mixing ever begins — and why pre-production, planning, and vision are what actually make recording and mixing faster and less stressful.

I also share a real-world example from an EP I worked on last year, comparing pre-production demos to the final recordings to show how early decisions carried through the entire project.

If mixing has felt frustrating or overwhelming lately, this video will help you understand where to look earlier in the process.

About

My name is Bobby Torres and I’ve been a full-time audio engineer/producer/mixer within the metal and hard rock genres for well over a decade.

I’m on a mission to put an end to all of the false information that leads aspiring producers and mixers down a never-ending path of confusion, wasted money, wasted time and very little progress.
