Help with Mixing/Mastering??

Many of you on this forum seem incredibly knowledgeable. Wondering if anyone might help me out with the part of music making that continues to elude me: Mixing and mastering the track!!

Here's a track I'm currently working on. Challenges I'm facing in trying to get this puppy sounding more polished: I don't want to lose the dynamics, but I want it to all sound connected... I want FEEL the low-end, but don't want to squash everything else as a result... I want pristine clarity, but also want all the disparate pieces to sound of-a-whole. Uhhhg. I've watched so many youtube tutorials, read so many books... Been doing this for years, and I still feel like an utter novice when it comes to this stage of the process. Any help and/or advice would be so very appreciated!! Thanks in advance, AUDIOBUS peeps!!

Here's the track in question:

    • Panning! Careful, everything is pushed really wide and there's not a lot holding down the center of the image.
    • That bassline is a couple dB too loud IMO, drowning out some of the stronger melody elements.
    • The kick is all but lost when the mix gets busier.

    Overall I didn't think it was a bad or master at all, it's pretty clean sounding and you have a decent sense of space in the mix. I think the biggest issue is just that bass synth stepping on some of the other instruments.

    I agree there needs to be more panning.

    There’s a lot of overlapping frequency information. The pieces need to be EQd so they create pockets for the other elements to fill. EQ the whole 2-track to gloss/shine/

    Where’s the compression at? You can compress individual items to put them in place without losing all dynamics and gaining control. Compress the whole 2track to smooth and glue.

    I think the drums need to stick out more.

    You can definitely achieve what you want with processing.

    Have fun
