Great Mixing is getting the most outcome from the least action. Too many ruin workable mixes (and their songs) from doing too much as a result of poor advice. This is a detailed yet pretty fast intro to how we can always have drums fit in any mix in a way in which they fit really well for that song.

To really make this work, you MUST PRACTICE it. Put aside all fear and obsession with technicalities (like Rulez) and do this over and over until you can really feel it. Then you can do it in the real world.
