"Tighter"/Pro Mixes?
Posted: Thu Jan 02, 2014 7:41 am
Ive been producing for a couple years now, but lately I feel kind of stagnated. I can write good music, but mixing and mastering is where i fail, I've read and watched video tutorials and yet can't seem to achieve a "tight" mix, I've already read the moneyshot thread dw.

I finished that song yesterday and something feels off, especially in the drop and the general volume of the track, it just doesn't sound right and I don't know what it is.
Here's a list of things I'm already doing, feel free to tell me if any of them is wrong.
-Bussing similar instruments together, synths in one bus, bass in another.
-Compression in each bus
-No FX sends
-Mastering with Ozone(no presets)
-Couple of layers in each instance(5 synths in the drop, 2 for the bass)
Could anyone help me pinpoint my weakness, tell me wether my rpoblem is in mixing or mastering...or both
Just to clarify,im not looking for any feedback on the track such as "cool/bad melody".
