Question about volume
Looking for tips on managing the volume of each record relative to the overall mix.
I’ve been learning mixing jungle, some new, some old records. I record my practice sessions to listen back and learn. In the moment it seems to sound good, but that’s why this is a struggle for me. On listen back I’ll sometimes notice how harsh an incoming track was compared to the current playing record.
I’ve tried checking the mix in headphones before bringing incoming track in, making sure to match the track using the mixer levels, I have ear level monitors so I’ve tried to check it out of headphones as well.
Some record just seem hotter than others even if the mixers levels show the tracks matched. So is this a know your library better problem, an eq problem, or something else y’all can suggest to try?
