MixingMastering

Alright, since you're the only one who answered, I might as well tell what the experiment was early: This was my first attempt at mixing ever and on a DAW I never tried. I took it the song from https://cambridge-mt.com/ms/mtk/, which is a library of songs for mixing practice. Here's the mixed version uploaded there, which I never used as a reference since I wanted to try whatever my brain could come up with, so it sounds very different: https://previews.cambridge-mt.com/InnerCircle_Full_Preview.mp3.

I'd like to get some feedback regarding the mixing aspect of the following song (don't hesitate to say if it's bad): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QgLaDuPm7NJQZ4A4L68LNv5BsSgBNLl4/view?usp=sharing I'll reveal later what's up with it, but I won't provide any additional information right now due to the potential of getting biased information. (Contains 3 growl vocals, in case that's something you don't want to hear. Not metal though)

Thanks, can I close this post then? If so, how?

Hello, not sure if I am allowed to do this, if not please inform me, but if I do, I'd like to get some feedback regarding the following song: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QgLaDuPm7NJQZ4A4L68LNv5BsSgBNLl4/view?usp=sharing I'll reveal later what's up with it, but I won't provide any additional information right now due to the potential of getting biased information.

Cheers! Turns out I didn't think of the simplest method of troubleshooting. I started out dividing and the solution revealed itself. Have a great day/evening folks.

Hello, This is my first time using Cakewalk so it is probably something very obvious. For some reason, for this project only (tested on a new project and this problem doesn't occur), the export sounds way different than the playback inside cakewalk. I tried everything I found on the internet and the top results in this forum, but to no avail. The thing is, the file is the problem, not the audio playback device, since when I reimport the file, it sounds just as awful in cakewalk. The top end sounds more crackling than a campfire. Checked the tracks, main busses, the output bus, but nothing stands out. I assume the preference settings are not the problem, since as I mentioned earlier, works as it should in other projects. I tried changing the export settings in every way that I could and they all sound awful. So, what is there to do? I can't continue on this project knowing that I won't be able to ever export an accurate sound. I'll share the project file and tracks if needed.
