I've been producing for a long time now but with my most recent remix which is by far my best track, however the waveform is seriously lacking and its really disappointing. Makes me think I did something wrong. I've had plenty of happy mistakes in the past where the waveform was solid and you can easily distinguish intro,buildup,drop and stuff but back then I didnt even know how to mix and master correctly and I'm pretty sure I was clipping bad since I read an interview where Skrillex said he mixes at 0db lmfao..
So my question is how do you guys get those sexy looking forms you know? I'm sure it's numerous things that come into play.
How I've been mixing the past couple weeks or so is at 6 decibals, I then master with a maximizer with a +6 db gain to bring the track to 0 db, normally I'll do some eqing too and match the gain. However my tracks have quite a few of those random ass peaks.
Sorry to make the post so long, this has been bothering me and I haven't found an answer.
(answer this if you'd like kinda off topic)
I saw in a stream that a artist I like was using izotope to match the mix of tracks, and he said every track should slow from low end down to high end, how accurate is that? Since seeing that I've been very very harsh on the higher end when eqing, and people told me it was the right choice, I also cut everything from 13kdb to 15kdb to leave room for hi-hats and I don't know if that's correct, I believe someone on here told me to do so.
