I have been trying to learn how to mix my own songs (used to have someone who did it for me, no idea what he did exactly). They are not complicated songs, often just piano and vocals.
I have read a few things on mixing, but I don't understand what I am reading. Can someone please explain to me, as someone without a lot of technical background or skill, what all the terminology means and what it is used for?
I am mostly curious about EQ and compression. What exactly do these things do and when and why would you use them? I've read stuff about using certain filters, so I would also appreciate an explanation on what these filters do and how to use them.
Thanks very much in advance!!!
