Don't really know. I'm certainly open to critique about the mixing. I feel like a lot of the tracks I've released come out kinda low volume, but then if I use compressors and limiters it sounds like I just jacked up the drive..

Anyway, not the end of the world just something I'm trying to get better at.

You don't need compressors or limiters, just increase the master volume and you'll be good

Yeah, I think my issues is.. normally I have the master volume set to 0..  and I typically try to keep my levels out of the "Red". But I'm noticing that my tracks are way lower than other songs.. even if they are peaking.

I appreciate the help smile

Drums tend to peak out of nowhere for no reason all the time, try muting that channel and see where everything else is at
