0.5dB Rule For Mix Balance Adjustment 

To avoid getting lost when adjusting mix balance, I recommend you to set a rule to “only adjust in 0.5dB increments.” This approach helps you see the overall balance more clearly without getting caught up in tiny numbers, and it makes it easier to reset when you get confused. Adjusting in tiny 0.1dB steps often makes it hard to notice differences and can actually cause more confusion. By keeping adjustments simple and using rough 0.5dB increments, you can move forward with your mix more efficiently. If you get lost, just go back. Remember, music is about trusting your instincts, so that’s the key point of this whole rule.
