Guys can you help me please?
Yesterday I was finishing a new Progressive House track. When I was mixing, I was comparing it with Dear Life by Dannic, and my track actually sound good if I compared, but the problem came when I tried to master the track. When I maximize the track and I had a commercial volume, I realized that my leads were like inside a can, don’t know how to explain it, like they weren’t natural (so bad quality comparing to Dear Life ones). I decided not compress, eq and those things and just maximize the track to see if the problem was in the mastering, but no, the problem was there.
I think that when I was mixing, it sound good to me because I did with a low volume, but, do you know why the leads sound like this? Any tip? PLEASE
