It sounds good, I like the separation. Only one thing I'm hearing a lot of low end in places there shouldn't be like Synth, vocals, etc... My advice would be to high pass everything except for the bass synth and drums so that are don't feel so cluttered. make sure too that the low mids are cleared too because there's a bit of boominess there too. Apart from that? well it sounds quite good and I like the tune.

It is not gear, but your capacity as mixing engineer. It takes hours and lots of mixing to get to sound like the pros. Your gear and software is enough for you to create "radio ready" music the problem is in the mixing and mastering process. Case in point Billie Eilish music was all recorded and produced by her in her brother in their bedroom but all those songs were mixed and mastered by a mixing and master engineer. Chucking more gear and plugins at it will make no difference, if you want to get better at mixing you need to get some knowledge and practice. I hope this helps.

Yeah I got Reaper and Tracktion Waveform installed on Linux and I can perfectly record and mix without issues. There are some good available plugins and you can use some Windows plugins using LinVST.

Is that Jazz has maybe one of the best bass solos ever. Just absolutely beautiful.

Ok this is a juicy one, FREE T-RACKS 1176 Compressor plugin. https://audioplugin.deals/black-76-limiting-amplifier-fet-compressor-limiter-by-ik-multimedia-free-download/

Yes and there's a lot there for you to watch, from complete mixes (beginning to end) to tips and masterclasses. Another great resource is Groove3, they have lots of complete mixes and courses and best of all you can sign out whenever you want.

Yes, there are tons of courses around: - Mixing University - Produce Like a Pro - Mix Academy Are some of the best I've found.

Audio Assault have their drum plugins going for a song Druminator & Westwood Drums are $5 each. https://audio-assault.com/druminator.php https://audio-assault.com/westwood.php

You can't go wrong with plugin boutique, if I was you I would get EZ Keys Dream Machines too, it is going for £22 right now.

OK Guys, Here's maybe the most complete Black Friday sales list ever!! https://vi-control.net/community/threads/tiger-the-frogs-alphabetical-list-of-november-2019-sales.86694/ Organized by vendor and there are some real nice things to be had Realidrums for only $99.95 (Dollars) is a steal.

Was going to offer to sell you my Tour 450, not the 700 but still packs a mighty punch. Played this one at an open air festival some time ago through my BFM Omni 10 (2x10 only one cab) and the sound guy had to ask me to turn it down because they couldn't hear the guitar player who was playing through a mic'd Marshall full stack You don't know how proud that made me

Another nice little bundle for those who produce film score or that kind of music all for £15 https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/58-Inst-Bundle/1856-Film-Score-Companion

Ok people if you produce Metal or even if you don't, here's a nice little bundle containing plugins that will work in any genre of music you produce for just $49 (US Dollars). https://audioassault.mx/blackfriday.php

Guys & ladies!! Another heads up! Harrison MixBus Ava Deeser for just £9. The AVA series is simply great. https://harrisonconsolesstore.onfastspring.com/ava-ds-offer-2?mc_cid=5f4a426d9b&mc_eid=c1f7210c46 BTW if you subscribe to the Wave Newsletter they are giving away a secret plugin on Black Friday for FREE!! They do this every year, last year they gave away Sibila (Deeser) which goes for $40. I'll keep you posted for more bargains.

If you find yourself interested in something that saturates and really alters the sound of your recordings then this one's for you. I'm waiting for black friday to get my copy. http://kazrog.com/products/true-iron/ Another one is Front Daw which saturates very nicely too.

In my opinion it is getting silly, so much that the other day me and my band were recording some demos for our website and the drummer was complaining about his drumming because it wasn't up to a radio standard (by that he meant to the click) even though we played the demos live. We ended up discarding all recordings because he wouldn't consent to put the recordings in the website as he thought he played terribly. He asked me to edit the drums but because we recorded all at the same time it would've entailed me editing bass and guitars too which I wasn't going to do. Go figure.

Oh YES!! I'm with you on that one it was a bloody pain in the derrière

No need, just remember prior to upgrade to go to iLok and deactivate your licenses. Then re-install iLok in your new machine and re-activate the licenses.

Nice one! Great find

Yes that's one of those plugins you wonder how can it be free, another plugin is Oril River (reverb) it is free and it is awesome.

He really doesn't need to have the plugin, just print the stem with the tone you like and send him the wav file just make sure you don't over do the tone to leave him enough rope for mixing.

I have two more suggestions Slap Passion (Not only for slap bass): This one needs a cab sim but sounds great too http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?plugin=Slap_Passion&id=2175 VeeBass: This one is another favourite, only drawback it is only 32bits but has it's only bass cab sim (can be turned off) http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?plugin=Vee_Bass_Amp&id=2255 Last but not least you could try this one GK AMPLIFICATION 2 LE https://shop.audified.com/products/live-guitar-and-bass-bundle-le

Go to Lancaster Audio, they do have a Cab sim loader and a couple of free cab sims and if you are interested they have some at a very good price. Here's the link to their free plugin: https://lancasteraudio.com/pulse/ Here's the link to their paid cab sims: https://lancasteraudio.com/product-category/impulse-responses/bass-cabs/ There are other free cab sims in the web but they are not of the quality of these but you can get great results nonetheless.
