You can practice at mixing. Here’s one good way to do just that:

I go through phases where all I want to do is mix. Sometimes, I don’t even have music to mix, but I want to try out a new toy or something I’ve learned. Maybe I want to practice mixing before a project, freshening up skills and updating things. 

This is for that. 

Telefunken has amazing multi-track sessions recorded on their mics you can download for free. They’re nice tracks too. More time goofing off, less time setting up. They’re an essential practice tool for mixers. Enjoy.
