Pro tip: A deep and complex mixing style is the trademark of an enthusiastic amateur (you do NOT need all those plugins in your chain). Elegance in mixing comes with experience—and the most masterful execution is almost always a simple one.

Pro tip: If you can’t make music sound good using an AudioBox, you won’t make music sound good using an Apollo. Engineering good music doesn’t start with what gear you own—but at some point you outgrow the junk (if you’re not stagnant).
