This is where this thread have to be. I suggest that you insert soundcloud so people could listen to your song right here.

 

Hey DG Wyler.
After listening to your remix several times over I couldn't quite hit that "like" button. To my ears, when I'm mixing or mastering the way that stems relate to one another within a mix is crucially important. They need to co-exist, contrast and complement each other.

Try this: plug in a good set of cans (headphones/earbuds) and turn the gain down real low. Mute all of your other monitors - listen only to your cans. Now, with the track playing super quiet in your ears, you'll be able to detect which of the stems are too strident and which ones got lost in the mix.

Mix on monitors, master on cans, check again on the monitors.

Think, also, about places in the mix where certain parts might come forward for a while whilst others drop back. Don't let your faders just sit there, make 'em breathe, live and work for you; they're not supposed to be dormant. When you nail it, it just feels right. Think about how the lex guy would work the lighting rig to spotlight the players during a live set on stage. Do the same thing with your faders and f/x.

 

Thanks for the advice DarthFader, I will use these tips in my next track for sure.

 

This is an excellent advice.
