Man, I wish I read about this earlier. I read on a site about mixing and ish. They said that your kick should be 0db, snare -2db, Synth Pads -20db, and a couple more. I gave it a run and set everything to right db levels, the quality sounded great. A lot more headroom. I use to put all my melodies to -7db like a dumbass so people wouldn't say this beat is louder than that. (People would still say so though)
My question is, is there another site that tells me more instruments and what db levels they should be.
