@aubreyproducer: If you are someone who often agonises over the small details in a mix (for example, you spend ages finessing that snare or kick drum) then Top Down Mixing might be for you! There are huge benefits to this mixing approach due to the 'window of objectivity' where the more we hear a track, the more we struggle to make good mixing decisions as our ears get used to what we’re hearing. So working quickly on a mix is more beneficial as that 'window of objectivity' will still be fresh as you work quicker. Also, broad stroke mixing like this enables you to think of mixing in terms of a whole mix and how it sounds together, rather than its individual parts. Which is more important? How the mix sounds as a whole piece of music. I have used this approach myself a lot recently and I am getting, generally, better mix results because of it.
