Mixing Music | Music Production, Audio Engineering, & Music Business 25 Audio Myths Busted: Recording, Mixing, Mastering, and Industry Truths
In Episode 367 of the Mixing Music Podcast, Lu holds it down solo while Dee Kei takes time with his growing family, and uses the episode to demystify some of the most common myths in audio. He moves through recording, mixing, mastering, and broader industry misconceptions, tackling topics like expensive gear, recording levels, fixing things in the mix, room acoustics, clipping, plugin counts, reference tracks, headphones, loudness, presets, Auto-Tune, and more.
Rather than overcomplicating things, Lu keeps the episode practical and direct. The message throughout is that context matters, good judgment matters, and a lot of the “rules” people repeat in audio are either outdated, oversimplified, or flat-out wrong. This is a fast, useful episode for engineers, producers, and artists who want clearer thinking and fewer myths in their workflow.
