When I started in music production, I wished that I may have someone that could answer all of the questions I had and explain everything and expand my understanding in the areas I was lacking. The problem is that the entire area of music production is big, not to mention most people have their own unique way of doing things. I am now going to give you some pieces of advice that are important in your success and will help you to pave a path to a pro music production.
Do not mix for too long ; let your ears rest - it is important to take breaks during mixing. For each hour you are mixing a track permit a 20 mins break. This can be quite hard if you are doing PC music production, as the computer you'll be mixing on will doubtless be in the room you spend almost all of your time. Now. No-one truly sticks to this break-time formula as regular clockwork but it is something to shoot at and perhaps let this time overlap a bit.
I would say to take a break sooner if you are working on a little incessant section of a song for a while, as your mind will just 'let go' and not be sharp and anything will sound amazing after a while sabotaging any plan to get a pro music production finished.
Don't mix in a giant roomy environment - Anything that changes the sound of your track that's outside of PC music production or a mixing desk is an issue. If you mix like this, you might get a professional music production out of your track but once you take it out of the room you mixed it in it will sound completely terrible as the ambiance and acoustics of that room are not present.
Don't mix a music track on the same day recording it - This is for 2 reasons. First reason would be as you use two different parts of your brain to do each. For one you've got to really concentrate hard and the second is the opposite, you want to concentrate too but you also want forget what you are doing and sense or feel.
The second reason would be down to the likely levels your ears have received exposure to during recording, some artists / bands wouldn't have this but they would have the 1st reason as a reason not to do both mixing and recording on one day. It can be tough if you're working on a computer music production but you really must learn how to leave it alone and give your intelligence and ears a rest ; do something that uses your other senses and do not sit in the same place that you will mix in when you're not mixing.
