Mixing is the process of putting musical or other sounds together to produce a final product. But, in today's society, mixing is not only about creating sounds; it is about projecting your musical talent and letting people know what you do.

Sounding is more than just mixing; it is an art.

You may have been told that you should be a musician and not worry about what other people think. However, in today's digital world, it's not about musicians; it's about mixologists.

Mixologists are mixing engineers. It's not the ability to play an instrument that makes you a mixing engineer; it's more about listening and recording songs and mixing them with other sounds that make you a mixologist.

How to promote yourself as a mixing engineer

You need to invest a lot of time in promoting yourself online as a mixing engineer, and you need to do this in a few steps.

Create a portfolio website that showcases your work

It is advisable to have a portfolio website. If you have a mixed engineer website or a Mixpat, your website would be the source of your clients' contact information.

You will be able to share your personal website with potential clients, and this way, they would be able to find you.

It would help if you had a few different pieces of work on your portfolio website. These include your mix designs, mixes, roughs, vinyl types, cover art, and gig listings.

Have a website that works for you

You can also have a website that doesn't allow you to upload your sound files. If you're not comfortable doing this, you can also have a portfolio website that lets clients pay for your work.

You can set up a company website and work from there.

You should know your audience and their demands. There is no point in having a website that is too fancy or full of bells and whistles if your customers can't find you online.

It's best to have a website that allows your audience to find you with a quick search.

It would help if you promoted your mixes on Soundcloud and other music-sharing websites so that the people interested in mixing understand your style and can find your mixes easily.

Ask your friends to recommend you to clients.
