Balance
Balance is the relationship between the levels of different sounds in a mix.
Level relevance: introduced at Nat 3; tagged for every later level where the same concept remains useful.
Explanation
Balance is one of the most important parts of mixing. It refers to how loud each track is in relation to the others. A strong mix often starts with simple level decisions before any complex processing is added. If the balance is poor, even good EQ or effects choices may not fix the overall result.
