Thanks man!! I use fl studio 11. I think the phase issue might be a plugin I put in the master track. It's called stero enhancer but the thing is I put 2 of them on and pan one with pre to the right and one with post to left with 20.2 ms offset on both right and left sides. On my headphones its sounds nice but for the bigger guy u might hear differently. And by noise do u mean like a white noise presence.
i used and imager to see the stereo field of my song and compared it to another. im wondering how can i make it more controlled like the more professional songs.
Pro songs are routed that way, that is what is creating the stereo depth. But not through phase creating software busses, through real hardware busses. That's the difference. You need to remove all of that phase you have present in your setup. That's it. You don't have to add any imager plugins, all you need is to get accurate phase. That's it. Then you start to hear the reverb tails that I bet you are not hearing right now. Then when you have that you use the monitoring process in conjunction with mixing techniques to make the right panning moves. When you do all of this as a mixing engineer, you need to also do it from the perspective of the producer and recording engineer. You have to understand how the production impacts on this and how your moves impacts on the production. So treat it holistically with the right setup.
Look, engineers out there freak out about this, even the very high end pros. This is stuff that can be quite tricky to deal with, because this is also achieved through the right monitoring solution and process and pros move around etc and need to start all over. You simply must hear the reverb tails and for that to be possible you need to remove the phase and use the right monitoring solution and process.
There is one very very fundamental condition that must be fulfilled to make a mix go to the top. It cannot have phase. It must be incredibly phase accurate. Because that is the difference between a big and clear sounding mix, and a small and muddy sounding mix.
Good Job on the track man. These are just things that I would change, Im not at all saying that they are "correct" or concrete foundations of mixing (if such a thing exists)
