im on a mission to get better, to try to better motivate myself or find better motivation, and also to work on my music. if i stay in school for my last year instead of getting my GED, i want yall to seriously help me get better, and try to point me in the right direction, try to find ways to spice up my music, ways to market my music when i get there, and just what i should do in general. im in a very interesting situation, and i wanna try my best to wiggle out of this tight squeeze with the best outcome.
first things first. what are some ways that all of you spruce up your music? ways to make it more filled up, without making it louder or overwhelming. i would also like to hear about simple ways to better mix my music. i dont wanna oversaturate my music with EQs and effects, i just want to hear about little teeny tiny tweaks to put to my music to make it sound so much better. idk if this is a good place for this, i dont even know if audiotool is even a good place to start as far as getting better is concerned, but i wanna get really good on one platform, before i move to something like FL.
ive listened to my music a lot lately, and i realized that even though my music sounds good, and crafty, it doesnt have enough pizazz. it doesnt sound quite professional, or high level, but i really wanna get there. i wanna make music that everyone can appreciate, even the super critical people that have always been something short of a bane for me, and share positive vibes so i can try to make my mark on the world and try to help some people with their own emotional problems. because i cant help one person out at a time, ive tried it. it fucking sucks. but i do think that i would be able to help people out in bulk with a positive message and positive music.

Look into mixing tutorials. Developing your mixing skills helps a lot. If you want to make your music sound brighter without making massive increases in volume, I recommend you learn how to use tonal balance. For example, our ears are most sensitive around 2,000 - 4,000 Hz and making slight changes to the volume of these frequencies can really change a mix.
There isn't an easy way to magically get good at mixing. It just takes practice. Make sure you're constantly using reference tracks as well. How do other producers' mixes sound? Listening back and forth from one of your projects, and a well produced reference track can help you troubleshoot a mix.
ah. i appreciate the advice.
