Im brand new to recording...but Ive been a DJ for 5 years now.

I just recently bought a PC, soundcard, Rode NT1000 and I use some old mackie board preamps for recording in Cool Edit Pro.

Now, Im getting to the point where I wanna be able to control my mixes. I wanna try to get all the vocals embedded in the tracks a lot smoother. Currently, all I do is use whatever Cool Edit has for effects and just try to balance out the levels of the tracks.

What kind of software should I use that will help me to achieve better sounding mixes and If someone could explain a brief mixing process that would be EXTREMELY helpful.

Also, could someone explain the difference between mixing and mastering? Thanks.
 
You're welcome, but don't get used to quick replies all the time! I've seen posts sit for days before being answered.
