Step 3: EQ the Right Way In Fruity Parametric EQ 2: - Cut before boosting - Small, narrow cuts - Avoid boosting more than +3 dB If you’re forcing it, it’s the wrong sound.

Step 5: Master Channel Rules - Don’t produce into a hard limiter - Add loudness at the final stage only - Clean mix > loud mix Drop your mix problem below and i'll help you fix it.
