    You're too cocky with no reason. I'm just searching for some solutions to my problems. And I really think that I was respectful with people that helped me... Or not.

    I can understand your point of view. But besides this I think I gotta combine other tips that people around this post gave me. Thank you for taking some time to answer this.

    Cocky? I am not sure why you say that, but let me try to guess.
    Maybe you think i was talking about deleting YOUR post (?)
    No, I was simply saying that my suggestion to play your songs on different equipment was pointless,
    because you are already doing that ("Oh never mind I see you've got that covered already")
    The rest was just me wondering why I could not delete my own pointless post, and a joke about being surprised that I had not already figured it out (due a past need to delete MANY of my pointless posts).

    Am i right in what I guessed? (That you thought I meant something about deleting YOUR post)
    Or is it something else?

    If you don't have a lot of gear, you can also take your music along with other songs you know, to other places and play them. Oh never mind I see you've got that covered.
    Can't delete a post? Weird I could not find a way to delete it.
    Even more weird, this is the first time i felt a need to delete one.

    There are so many tutorial and articles on mixing these days. Just a Google, but just one of these articles or tutorials may be more useful than anything I can say here. :
    https://www.google.com/search?q=mak...1935j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&safe=strict

    Having some reference tracks is a good tool as well (many suggested- just a google here: https://www.google.com/search?q=goo...6551j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&safe=strict
    Lots of people saying just keep practicing. That is what you have been doing by remixing and checking of different devices (systems).


    Some have suggested calibrating your speakers/room & headphones.
    That helps eliminate problems that show up in some songs (or parts of a song) but not others. If there are problems (reflections, resonances, etc) in a sense, it can be like playing in a different room for each song or part of a song.

    Other people are suggesting visual tools to help you see the difference while you hear it, and I think that is what you are looking for.
    Har-Bal, iZotope Ozone,iZotope Tonal Balance Control, Voxengo SPAN, etc...

    I have a few loaded on my "meter channel" (in FL Studio it is called "Current Track") so I can easily check whatever mixer channel is currently selected. Selecting the Master channel shows the whole mix, but it is interesting and maybe useful to select Subgroups and see how they are balanced. Of course selecting a channel with just one instrument isn't what those visual tools are designed for, but it is handy to see if there is unwanted energy coming from a single channel. It works like a "visual solo" button.

    There are many ways to set up mixing, and once I began fooling with orchestral stuff I really began to see how useful that is. You can run a bunch of subgroups to "solo" whatever parts of the mix you want.

    I hope this post is more useful than my other one!

    You never finish a track, you just leave it.

    I had never heard of this software before so thank you for listing it. Are there any other mastering products that are similar to this?
