Sounds like I need to work on my mixing abilities, which I was pretty sure was the case haha.

Although, I'm having trouble, conceptually, understanding the process of how to mix properly. I know that it's mostly about EQing, compressing, and using limiters to make all of the elements sound good together, but how much is actually changing the volume of each individual part involved? Is it better to first change the volume of each individual part before adding EQs, compressors, limiters and the like?

Thanks for all of your feedback, really appreciate it! I have some decent knowledge on music theory and structure, but not so much on the technical side of everything, really want to learn though!

 

This is the first song I've made in a long time. Was wondering if I could get some feedback on it!

Specific feedback would be on the mixing and mastering, I'm very new to that whole part of production, but did my best job with it so far.

Edit:
I changed the mixing of the track let me know if hear any improvement/regression in this new version. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me out!
