My question is:
To achieve Professional mixed and mastered audio volume on your home recording tracks should you compress most or even all tracks in a project individually to a degree so it evens them out. I'm not talking about smashing their signals but just enough to even out transient peaks? Ive come close to matching volumes but the clarity is not there. I'm convinced that the problem is in the mix. Maybe the drums need compressed more before mix down or something along those lines. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Izotope ozone 4 for mastering and have some waves plugins that i purchased off a friend who used to run a studio but gave up recording because of family life. That was a shame for him but a great thing for me.
