This is a good start man! Where do you think you may end up taking this? I'm curious to see how it will turn out!

I'm really inexperienced with mixing.... I think it could be the stock plug-ins arent what I need

What IS important, is having good gear for listening. A decent set of over-ear headphones and cheap studio monitors should be enough for now
I need a pair or studio monitors,  do you know of any good ones to start out with that are not too expensive?

Get your hands on something visual like FabFilter Pro Q or there was one out awhile ago called apEQ. Probably loads more now but they would be something I use.

If your new to mixing its good to get a visual idea of where frequencies are situated in the spectrum. These plugins will do just that  ;)
I've heard fab filter mentioned by a friend once,  so I'll have to look at it.  Thank you for the recommendation :)

There are a lot of great plug-ins at www.waves.com if you have the cash. Also, over at www.dancemusicproduction.com they have a mixing/mastering tutorial series that I have done. It really helped me to separate the creating process from mixing/mastering. Of note, I didn't have all the plug-ins in the tutorials so I used some general ones that came with my DAW (Ableton). If you google "top free VST plug-ins" you can usually get some really good ones that will generally speaking do the job. Lastly, if you are submitting a track to a label I suggest having an engineer master it once you finish the mix-down. It's more about using what you have than getting more plug-ins in the end.
I'll look at the website,  and a series with this would really help.  It's helped you well? Mixing is one of the biggest areas I struggle with,  so if the class helped you,  I'll definitely have to check it out

Hi,  I'm really inexperienced with mixing.  My mixes always turn out bad and  I think it could be the stock plug-ins arent what I need.  Since the topic is sort of vague, I was looking for any good EQ,  stereo shaping, reverb,  just the general basic plug-ins I would need.  I hope this isn't breaking any of the rules but I have no idea where to look for some good ones.  Thank you in advance.
