So u wanna mix ur shit, so its ready to master?

U gotta take a look at these tutorials, its everythin u need:
Audioforce - Mixing

Read thru those and u will learn some shit.
Also what I can tell u now is:
1. Make sure your beat does not reach 0 dB or peak over.
2. Keep everythin at -3 dB when ur mixin it, so u have more room to work on it, and boost whatever u need to.
3. Roll of the low end on claps, snares, hats and percussion so its not boomy.
4. Boost 10-10kHz using an EQ. It adds clarity to instruments, but dont over do it.

I'll try find some of the terms for ya, but here are the most common:

Low End- Bass, from 0Hz to 250Hz in the EQ
Mid End- From about 250Hz to 4000Hz
High End- About 400Hz to 15000Hz.
Rolling of the low or high end- Removing the bass or highs by lowering them in the EQ

99% of hip-hop does.
When it goes into mastering, thats when they limit it to 0dB, but it still goes over by a couple 0.1s.
Doesnt matter, unless it goes over by a lot.

I might be completly wrong but I noticed that mp3s will peak a little bit over 0db... like, if you export a track (in mp3 format) from any program with a limiter set to -0.1 for example on the master channel, it'll be over 0db... and if you export it in wav, it won't peak over 0db... same thing when you convert tracks from a CD to mp3 or wav... the mp3 will peak at over 0db, and the wav won't... maybe it's just a coincidence but that's what I noticed
