I've been reading a lot and learning to mix for the last 6 months, and people here who have heard my stuff are telling me that it's sounding okay.
I am learning stuff all the time and I also know that I know very little about the art of mixing. I am mixing low with an aim to send my completed mixes to a mastering house when I've recorded enough tracks.
But I'd like to be able to have a bit of a go myself, mainly just so that I can tighten the mixes up and increase the volume so that when I show people and post stuff online it doesn't sound low in volume and stuff.
I use Logic Pro X. What I've been doing as a mastering phase is literally adding a Mastering setting on the Output meter and bringing the master fader up. Some mixes sound loud, some sound lower than others. But it's also going into the red and essentially clipping (although not really audible) but if I don't do this they sound really low.
So, I'd like to learn how to do a poor mans master, but I don't know where to do it, in a new track? Also I'd like to be able to make all the tracks the same volume. All this stuff.
I don't know where to start and some help would be amazing. Thanks.
