I have no clue about mixing, EQing etc, but i would love to learn, so can you guys give me a few tips about mixing or EQing and tell me what i did wrong in this tune Soundcloud

First thing I'd say is less wobbles! But don't mind me

As for mixing your songs, have you read this thread? http://www.dubstepforum.com/this-thread ... 74832.html

If not then start there, friend.

mixing isn't really something you can teach and it's never the same on any song
it's something you need to hear yourself
straight off on the tune, there's a click at the start and the whole track is really quiet but that is something you'd get to when you master the track
your whole track has practically no low end from what i can tell which again could be sorted with mastering but these are things you don't want to have to rely on when you come to master
first off, you need to get yourself some flat response headphones or monitors and you need to get familiar with them, this will make a big difference to your mixing
try starting with your drums, then bass, then synths and wobbles and eventually add in any thing extra like risers, samples and effects
that's always a good way to work because you know where you're at
there are however some rules that people follow in terms of how they eq but like i said they're always going to be slightly varied
i know youtube is full off these sort of tips and tricks that you might find useful and i'm sure there's alot on here about it too but what i'd suggest is to practise it yourself so that you're not relying on what you've been told to be correct in every instance and should you have any problems you'll have a better idea on how to fix it
it's something that you'll get better at over time
try taking it slow and going over every part of the drums, synths etc and try and make them all sound as professional as you can just by playing around and hopefully you'll start to hear what different things doin terms of compression and eq etc
sorry if this isn't what you were looking for but remember that these things take time to get the hang of and it's all worth the patience in the end

first up: more kick, less hat. your drum mix is like that of a young drummer-- cymbals too loud, drums too quiet.

if you've got compressors and limiters working, and you're not sure what they're doing (and it sounds like that's the case)-- take 'em off. the audio even LOOKS limited to death.

the key to mixing is VOLUME. forget compression, eq,reverb, etc. all that is icing on the cake. Your mix needs to work by faders alone-- go back in, take all your fx plugs off, and see if you can get things vibing w/o any plug ins. THEN start sweetening the sounds.

when someone hires me to do a a mix, the first thing i do is bring all the faders up to zero, and then start pulling things down so that i have a balanced-sounding mix, for the most part, with a bit of headroom to work in. once i've got that, i've got a great starting point w/ which to sculpt sounds-- but audio-wise, if you don't have the big picture yet, you have nowhere to start.
