The worst thing you can do when you start making changes to your mix via client feedback is to save over your original mixing session. What if the client changes his or her mind and wants to go back to the way things were and tweak from there? Yikes! Do yourself a favor and save separate session files for each version of a mix.
Better Workflow = Better Mixing
Part of good mixing is good mix workflow and habits. If you can simply avoid shooting yourself in the foot, you stand a chance to make some great mixes. Today’s video shows a simple but crucial way to work and take advantage of your digital audio workstation.

GREAT TIP!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Great video Graham. As we are getting close to the finish, maybe you will post an article about the feedback you got (twitter followers, subscribers to youtube, facebook likes etc) after this terrible month.
And remeber, you are watched all over the world (Romania here)
Thank you again.
Yeah, great tip! In fact, organizing the recording enviroment and the workflow is a topic very often forgotten… More on that would be awesome, Graham.
I know you are trying to be universal to all DAW’s but playlists in Pro Tools really seem a lot simpler than multiple session files. That way, all you need to do is switch between playlists in a single session to make changes like what you talk about in your video.
Actually playlists would be a poor way to tackle this. If you use different automation, plugins, routing, sends, etc. then you need to save a separate file.
