# The mixing cheat sheet.

Every EQ range and compressor starting point from our mixing tips, on one sheet you can print, front and back, and keep next to your desk.

For vocals, kick, snare, bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, piano and keys, overheads and drum bus. Starting points, not rules: use your ears.
