🖐🏻 Wait, you're also a producer, right?
Let's discuss different audio mixes together, but first, what is an audio mix/song mix?
A mix (how the frequency and instrument balance work in your song)
So let's dive into it:
1️⃣Main Mix (Original Mix)
✅Purpose: The standard version of the song
Balanced for all listening environments (headphones, radio, streaming, etc)
2️⃣Club Mix
✅Purpose: Made for clubs, festivals, and loud sound systems
➡️Heavier low-end (sub + kick boosted)
➡️Extended intro/outro for DJ transitions
➡️High energy & loud RMS
3️⃣Bass Mix
✅Purpose: To highlight the bassline and sub frequencies
➡️Sub-bass dominance
➡️Thicker low-end textures
➡️Mids and highs slightly tamed to make space for bass
4️⃣Extended Mix
✅Purpose: Designed for DJs who want more room to mix in/out
➡️Longer intros/outros
➡️Sometimes instrumental sections added
➡️Keeps full structure but slightly stretched
5️⃣Radio Edit (Radio Mix)
✅Purpose: For radio play (shorter, more commercial)
➡️3–4 minutes max
➡️Explicit lyrics removed
➡️Immediate hook and simplified structure
6️⃣Ambient / Chill Mix
✅Purpose: Softer, atmospheric version of the main song
➡️Reverbs, slow tempo, less percussion
➡️Designed for mood playlists or meditation scenes
7️⃣Festival Mix
✅Purpose: For large venues and outdoor systems
➡️Louder than club mix
➡️Emphasizes drops, crowd energy
➡️Often compressed more heavily
8️⃣Dub Mix
✅Purpose: Stripped-down version highlighting rhythm, bass, and effects
➡️Vocals minimal or echoey
➡️Heavy use of reverb, delay, filters
9️⃣TV Mix / Performance Mix
✅Purpose: For live performances on stage or TV
🔟Clean Mix
✅Purpose: Censored version for family-safe environments.
➡️Explicit words muted or reversed
✔️Lo-Fi Mix
✅Purpose: Soften clarity, add warmth and vintage texture.
➡️Slight distortion, tape noise, filtered highs
