HELP ON MIXING...please?

[Line Level Recordings]

Hey guys
i was hoping someone could help me by giving me answers for the questions that have been rotting in my head for months.

my recordings dont sound so...Upfront
they sound a little far away.

now i dont want to automatically assume it means that i have to buy a new piece of gear.
but then again

im looking for PRO (joey sturgis) quality.
im trying to be the best i can be, next to some underground pro's

and i would like to know how to gain that tight bassy clean tone
kinda like sassafras from The Devil wears prada

give it a listen. theres a breakdown somewhere near the beginning
and i would like to know how to obtain that.

yes it takes years to hold that kind of talent
which is why im researching it now.



what do you guys/girls think ?

As long as your being the best you can be,there really isn't too much else to be asking for.
Having someone like Joey to measure up to is great because it just means you know how far or close from that point you are.

You pointed out it takes years,and with every mix we all learn something new.

You just gotta keep on improving and at what pace?
That's for you to decide.

I don't know what your tracking or how you go about doing it,but so much of that aspect has a number of variables that need to be considered when determining the quality of the recorded product.

Instead of listening to your mixes and finding things you don't like about them,why not make a conscious choice to find things you do like about them.

Faders up!

I think every guy who starts a thread similar to this should post a pic of his room!
That's the most important thing.
