In the mixing phase my main goal is achieving clarity by making all the elements work cohesively together: dynamic levels are balanced out, EQ elements are sculpted, instruments are given a place to "sit in the mix", and any sonic corrections are made.

Although I have a ton of mixing/mastering gear I prefer to stress that it's not only what I have that's important as much as how I know how to use it, if you're not completely satisfied you pay nothing, it's as simple as that.
