Human perception of audio frequencies evens out at higher levels. Mixing at lower levels will give you more detail in your mixes. Here is a Graybar "Equal Loudness Contour" guide from 1955 that illustrates this phenomenon. Enjoy! @graybar #sylviaknowsstuff @oddioshop #ilovetomix

A WARNING to my mixer friends: Be on the lookout for the Thylacine. The Thylacine is a mixing client who will get a dozen mixers to mix his record while not intending to pay for any of it. A Thylacine is also a large extinct dead dog from Tasmania. #tirekicker #bewarethethylacine
