Thanks for the writeup! This is exactly what I'm looking for and I completely agree with you. When producing a song, I always hit a wall near the end where I know that it needs more work in the mix, but I simply don't have the knowledge to get it the rest of the way there. I usually just end up cringing and clicking the upload button any way, haha. I struggle with the bass on pretty much every song. It almost always has a muddy quality to it. I think part of the issue is, like you pointed out, the acoustic guitar produces some really low frequencies and it's hard to reconcile them with the bass. I try to dampen the lower frequencies in the EQ and that helps a lot, but it's still noticeable. As far as the kick goes, I tried to dampen the mid frequencies and increased the low and high ones. I guess that was the wrong thing to do? I've got very little experience mixing drums. Is there a book or maybe a video series you can point me towards to get a better understanding of these concepts?

Thank you! Thanks! Hmm, I'm planning on getting the ball rolling on some collabs soon. One of which will be with a female singer. Should be fun! I don't disagree and this is precisely why I'm asking for feedback. I'm still trying to find that balance with the bass where it's still prominent, but I'm not blowing anybody's speakers. I tend to nerf it in the mix a little because my acoustic guitar produces really low frequencies that often clash with it. I am still learning =) I think I'm mostly using the neck pickup on the bass, by the way. Thanks for the comment! Thank you! I have an infatuation with reverb that I've been trying to reconcile, haha. I try not to lay it on too thick, but I love how it can make a song sound more ethereal, especially through headphones. I'll try dialing it back a bit in the future. Thanks a bunch, man! I'll try to not be so liberal with the reverb, even though I love it so haha.

Hey, guys. So I've been lurking for a while and this is my first post. I've thought about sharing my stuff here before, but wasn't sure if it'd really fit in. It seems like everybody's pretty open-minded around here so I thought I'd give it a go. I do instrumental vgm covers and often add my own lyrics. My covers tend to have a "folkish" vibe to them. Here is one of my better ones that I did recently: More than anything I'm looking for feedback on my mixes. Specifically balancing the audio, EQing, mastering, etc.. I feel that's what I need to improve the most. I've made significant progress since I started, but I know that there is so much room for growth. Any tips at all are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
