Hi Johny C, I think I'm gonna have to take you up on the offer, thanks man

I'm getting better at keeping my mixes a little clearer now but I still find that I have a lot of mud in the low mids, I always seem to struggle to get a really nice relationship between the bass and kick. I've been doing this a long time now but I don't feel I'm anywhere near where I want to be.

It can get very frustrating at times. My mixes don't seem to gel well together, and when the odd one does I'm not really sure why or how it happened.

To make it a bit easier for you, I'll ask a few specific questions:
How much (generally) of the sound is in the mastering, if I'm comparing a mix I'm working on to a commercial track (WAV) download from beatport, how close should I be aiming for?
I mix in Logic with a multiband or regular compressor on the 2-Bus from the start and I cant decide if I prefer it or not? What sort of chain would you normaly work with for 2bus?

I have quite a bit of hardware (I blame Gearslutz) and generally nice equipment, my studio is better than I am at this point in time.

I'm constantly listening to and analysing commercial tracks to try and improve mine but Its an uphill struggle! I love the music though so its all worth it...

I dream of the Gearslutz Electronic forum........!

Peace
Dave
