Sounds similar to rules of thirds in other media aspects, IE: The rule of thirds in photography/film.
Probably is in reference to the panning of the audio, so that it doesnt cause a subconscious imbalance.
Na I'm pretty sure he didnt mate, the guy knows his shit.
a very common technique is to mix in thirds, referring to groups of instruments
one third = drums and bass
second third = guitars and accompany instruments (piano, keys, whatever)
last third = vocals
do each, as a step
make the drums rock, then make the bass rock, then make them rock together
make the guitars rock, make the other instruments rock, make them rock together
make the drums+bass rock with the guitars+others together
then make all of that, rock with the vox
and you have your self a mix "happening"
Call it what you will, but if you call it "mixing in thirds", your mixes will be more likely to "just go bam".Isn´t that "regular" mixing? At least when you have a very busy arrangement.
