Okay, so something I've been noticing is that my mixes don't sound nearly as good as a professional mix. Seriously! I'm talking about the sound quality, not the mixing.
For example, I fired up a podcast from a pro and it just sounds punchier (louder, more of a dynamic range?) -- like a mastered track. This makes me sad. This is how the tracks I buy off of Beatport sound on my computer sound as well.
So here's what's going on:
1. This is all in my head.
2. Equipment driven as I'm using an Audio8DJ and DJM-400 Mixer
3. Something wrong with my settings in Traktor? I've made sure nothing is clipping on my mixer, in Traktor (top panel next to Bat), or in the Audio Recorder (I'm using the Gain there, but just to get it to an acceptable level).
4. I have two mixes made with these settings on Soundcloud here and here (if anyone would be so kind to take a second and listen?). I've also attached a picture of how the input into Channel C looks (this is how my A8DJ is hooked up to record). Is this normal or should I have a circular output here....?
If I'm not insane -- what else can I be doing here to help this?
