Hey guys, I know ppl have discussed this several times on here so I am just looking for some pointers. Pretty much all pro tracks that I download sound so damn loud and clean! I’ve been producing for about 2 years and have got a few tracks mastered by reputable mastering companies, but still they don’t sound as big as songs out there. (I mainly do electro house). I’ve gotten positive feedback from mix engineers but want to improve my mixing, I don’t do my own mastering. What do you guys do in the mix process to make your songs sound as loud and dynamic as possible? As far as bussing, limiting, compressing? Any advice would be great
check out the “Tips for getting polished sound” thread on the Tips and Tricks forum.
looks like it turned into a lively discussion over there 
Thanks! Just checked it out, some good stuff out there
