for last 8 years I have been composing , arranging programming and mixing ,when I was mixing on Nuendo I had some great mixes, then I switched to Logic pro x ,
PROBLEM : I eq I compress, I select the best quality sounds in the business..... yet when I listen to my mixes now it seems as if headphone is playing 20 percent of what the power I felt should fill the headphones .....what do you all think can be the reason... is it that I simply don't know what mastering is all about if it's about power ? when I compare them with other professional mixes I find two things missing 1) power in sound 2) sharpness and clarity and distinctness in sounds ,MY mixes with best sounds start sounding poor in SOUND quality .... my song ultimately starts sounding less big and clean .now the question
1) I use the best kicks and best snares and best sounding guitars out of thousands of sounds.After finishing the mix , I feel what the hell has gone wrong that now in totality why a kick is not hitting me in the stomach and a snare in my head , and strings are sounding so dull and it seems that the entire song which when a professional sound engineer mixes fully fills the head phone but when I finish my mix it sound powerless.
