I had to do the same thing and it has really helped in my overall mindset including tracking, mixing, and mastering. ![]() I would recommend creating a template in your DAW of other professional recordings that you think match your project(s) and playing them over and over for about a week in your studio environment (where you mix) in order for your ears and mindset to readjust to some of the elements of those professional reference tracks. There is no such thing as overdoing it on the reference tracks. The message of the lyrics is great! I suggest you reference tracks for your genre prior to mixing and during mixing. The instruments themselves have been EQ'ed pretty good as far as I can tell, but again the compressor settings are not set correctly. A little more emotion in your first vocals would help. I feel that the compressors are taking away from the essence of what you are trying to convey through your overall message. Also, there are other elements of compression that I hear especially in the brass/strings/pads that are not helping the mix. This kind of compression is good, but too much of it can ruin a mix. ![]() It seems to me that there is some "duck compression" (vocal is always on top and the compressor brings down the instrumental part in order for the vocals to be always on top).
