I'm really trying to get better at mixing. Any suggestion on how I can get better at mixing? Anything I can read up on to learn how to properly eq, comp, pan and etc(I know it's different for each song, just want a starting place)?
Definitely. I personally can't vouch for this book but know a few people who say it's helped them understand things a lot more: The Mixing Engineer's Handbook by Bobby Owsinski.
Back when I started mixing, it was before there were in-depth books such as these, so most of what I know is from trial and error, which is also a great way to learn!
Another thing you might try as well is presets that come with digital effects (plugins); they are usually named after their intended uses like "Female Vocals" etc. I would advice you use these as starting guides only and trust your ears!
Thanks for the question and best of luck!
