Gold in here lads… keep it coming.
Just in the door - will read everything later on. Appreciate everyone being so open with their shizzle… 
Everyone is pretty much saying the same stuff but different ways here. Perfect 
Great to have everyone confirming the same things, but from different perspectives & having it all join up in the middle. Spot on Lads!
@UV - Yeah, I’m doing that pretty much now too… starting with the Kick & Bass, pretty soon after getting 1/2 an idea. Get those 2 right, its good to go. 100% agree man.
I’m going to treat compression rather like I treat EQ’n & see how I get on. Just get the sound popping out, then dial back some of the threshold, until I can just about hear it.
By the time you go to master, y’ll have so much headroom and everything will be mixed nice & right, it’ll be powerful & clean: Thats the fkn idea anyway :D
Gonna tape a sticker to my Monitor & write “CONTROL YOURSELF” on it 
Yeah youre right we all said preety much the same thing! i didnt read any of the prior post till now

Yeah I’ve got one of those but it’s not music related! And it doesn’t fkn work :hehe:
Haha! Just pull the internet connection out, instead of the big man… and you’ll get there
I have mentioned this before but its soooo important. Reverb and Ambience. This really is what does a lot of polishing to your track and gives it more of a professional edge. You need to make it sound that all your drums/instruments/vocals etc are all being played in 1 space.
For finding the better tips for polishing sound use high quality sound effects speakers and instruments for sounds.Getting more information go through any music forum.
WTF ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! knobhead!!

Sounds like J4. I’m trying this!!
Once you’ve got everything arranged and mixed, go back and turn your plugs like EQ and Reverb to high quality rather than eco. Kinda whores ye old resources a lot more but it gives it a better quality feel. Also, my sound has improved a lot since I bought a solid soundcard. A lot lower latency and less buffer underruns. (I am working on a laptop keep in mind, not these car sized desktops that I’m sure some of you have :P)
Make sure your listening environment has good acoustics. This should help a lot with the overall quality of the sound.
you can solve all your issues if you just take your almost finished track to a professional studio , where a Producer can just rearrange and fix in the mix.
you could learn a few things
