I have been producing for just a little bit over a year and my goal has always been to start releasing music. Production wise (all the elements, arrangement and the execution of it) I have actually been at a place for a while now where I feel like I am good enough to at least start releasing but when it comes to mixing my whole flow is killed and the songs end up left behind every time.

I am definitely not approaching mixing in the right way because my productions have truly grown while my mixing has stayed stagnant. I don't know how to approach the "training of" mixing and have not really understood how to practice this skill in a direct and practical way. I make songs and then I just sit down and mix it ending up disappointed in the end because It does not sound as professional as everything I listen to. I think that it has felt a bit overwhelming for me so I have not approach it in the right way to truly make progress.

I know the fundamentals of mixing and I definitely know that with practice comes progress but I don't know what I can do day by day to get better and this is where I would love some advice from others.
