I have no clue where to start when it comes to mixing my track.
I understand what eq's do (every sound in it's own space). I understand the the knobs for compression and a little bit about how to use compression (reduce peaks, better dynamic range to help with matching levels of the sounds). I understand reverb abit (give the sound life; create artificial space for the sound to breathe, putting sounds in the foreground or background). But whenever I try to mix and use these functions, I have no real idea where I want to go or how I do it (I guess my general goal is to getting my track sounding super 'clean' like Avicii's tracks, where my sounds aren't muddied but infact 'sparkle') and I get clipping (especially with the compressor).
So I was just wondering why do I get clipping and why does my track instruments seem to muddy the overall sound instead of being separated and more polished. Any help on mixing in general would help alot. thx.
