How To Create A 3D Mix

The document provides instructions for creating a 3D mix in three steps: 1. Create depth in the mix by sending tracks to auxiliary tracks with different reverb plugins to place them in the foreground, middle, or background. 2. Add distance between tracks using mix tools like volume adjustments and EQ cuts. Spread tracks out spatially using panning. 3. Direct the mix by sending tracks to sides or corners using haas panning on auxiliary tracks with delays.
