I am making my own song demos for like 3-4 years now and never really cared about the mix since I never had a band.. Now I do and for the past 6months I’ve been absolutely tryharding to get as good as possible so we won’t have to pay 1000s of dollars for a good mix..

What tips can you give me that are kind of simple and make huge improvements in the mix? We make Posthardcore so some kind of rock/punk/metal subgenre and everything gets muddy real fast..

And would you recommend buying lessons or are there good free courses?

Thanks in advance :))
