Clean Tracks, Clean Mixes: How to Prep Your Multitracks Like a Pro

Before a mix can shine, the raw materials need some serious TLC—and that’s exactly what this episode is all about.

Join Chris and Jody as they dive into the often overlooked—but critically important—process of prepping multitrack sessions for mixing. Whether you're the recording engineer handing files off to a mix pro or the one doing both jobs yourself, this episode walks you through the smart, efficient steps to get your session mix-ready.

From editing and organizing to naming conventions and audio cleanup, discover how Chris and Jody tackle:

  • Vocals (and why cleaning breaths isn’t always the answer)
  • Electric & acoustic guitars (goodbye, string squeaks)
  • Bass tracks (because mud has its limits)
  • Drum kits (hello, phase alignment)
  • Virtual & orchestral instruments (even MIDI needs manners)

You’ll also hear tips on gain staging, consolidating files, and setting your mix up for success—plus a few thoughts on what NOT to do when prepping your stems. And as always, there’s a healthy splash of studio nonsense and this week’s Friday Finds to keep it fun.

If you’ve ever sent—or received—a mix and thought “What is this chaos?”... this one’s for you.
