Loudness Standard Too Quiet Article – I found that .PDF I read in regards to the standard they set was too quiet. It’s a really interesting read even if you just skim it over.

In this video of our FL Studio Beginner’s Series, we’re going to be checking out how to prepare to mix your beat in FL Studio.

The difference between mixing beats professionally and that amateur sound really comes down to knowledge and experience.

This will only take time the more you practice mixing instrumentals or songs, and you will get better the more you try!

We have another slideshow overview in this video specifically on mindset, knowledge, and workflow.
