Hi there,
Recently I tried to make my first electornic track and what a surprise it was bad... (at least I'm not a 13 years old kid, spamming it on youtube xD)
So I started watching tutorials and reading about how I could possibly improve. During that process I stumbled upon mixing and mastering. Since then I'm more fascinated about this than making a track by myself.
'Broken Man' is my first mix ever. I'd really appriciate some feedback, on how I could improve.
In my opinion the thing I'm lacking the most at the moment is compression:
I know the principle how it should work, but I can't really hear it working. For example if my meter tells me it's compressing (-?)10dB's (1:3 ratio) and I ajust the output gain the way, that the volume remains the same, I don't hear a difference.
(By the way, I was mixing the track on my (new xD) KRK KNS 8400 (Headphones) because I have no space for monitor speakers...)
Greetings,
Martin
