what’s up fellows,
I’ve been watching mixing/mastering tutorials for about two years now (not only watching but implementing as well) so I know a lot about EQ, compression, sound imaging, saturation and other mixing techniques
nevertheless, I still believe there’s always something missing in my final mixes
I know that the mix needs to be sounding commercial-ready before the mastering stage
as mastering is all about polishing not fixing & cleaning
if anybody can help, as tutorials are hard to request over here
(despite of the forum’s title) 
so am I missing something !! or is my mixing just sucks ***
I believe I can post a couple of links for mixes I’ve done in the past months
this is my latest one, I think it’s (128 kbps)

so here’s another a (320 kbps) it’s almost half play time of my favorite track of mine

FIY this is my setup
i’m using both Ableton & FL Studio but I do the final mix & render my tracks using FL studio, no monitors just a couple of cheap *** speakers & a sub woofer, I use headphones for reference plus I test it on car speakers which always disappoints
stereo-wise I find my mixes lacking a defined space and sometimes sounds are just floating allover, sounds okay on my headphones and my speakers though
any help would be greatly appreciated
Just listened on my AKG’s but I can’t find anything wrong with it mixing wise. Sounds really polished and well balanced. Nothing too loud. Not muddy at all. Bass sits very tight in the mix.
I agree… the other track you posted just sounds a bit more compressed overall but i think your mix is spot on.
phew what a relief
thanks a lot for the replies, guess I just really need a set of monitors
and probably a slight acoustic treatment so I can get mixes to sound exactly
like I want them to be
btw I love your work Phil thanks a lot for helping so many artists out there
cheers 
Thanks! Your very welcome!
