Been mixing about 2 years now as a bedroomer, now looking to start promoting myself out there for small-time event filler, and only just started recording my mixes.
One thing ive noticed that I never really picked up playing loud on speakers is how out of whack my levels are from track to track.
For some reason mixer (vestax vmc004fxu) is just about peaking constantly on both channels (1210's) with gain set to minimum and EQ's centred. Plus one deck seems to be louder than the other (both brand new 1210s, shure m44g carts)
This aside, when listening back to recordings of my mixes, there is a large volume boost while double dropping (obviously, however i never picked it up without listening back).
What do you do to keep your levels even? Ive started to use the channel faders instead of the crossfade and it seems to be improving slightly, but still aint perfect.
Hope you guys can help me out.
Ive spent this long getting my mixing tight, just got to conquer this and hopefully somebody might like my mixes enough to play 30 minutes in a club!
Peace from Down Under
