Here is my honest, and sincere point of view: You are going about this the wrong way, and you are never going to get what you are looking for.

I hope you do not take offense at this, because none is intended.

You need to get yourself some educational materials, (books, videos, local classes, etc) and spend the time to learn. Then you need to take the time to practice and understand the things that you have learned.

Mixing is a skill, a craft and an art that cannot be taught in a day or week or month or year or decade. I've been doing it for more than 20 years, and I still learn on a daily basis.

Mastering is a skill, a craft and an art that cannot be taught in a day or week or month or year or decade. It really is even more difficult than mixing and requires good trained ears and dedication.

Heck, RECORDING is a skill, a craft and an art that cannot be taught in a day or week or month or year or decade. You may be able to capture some audio, but doing it right is another thing altogether.

There is nothing that we can teach you in one or two responses to a post on an internet forum that will really be of any meaning or help to you. Seriously.

I'll go you one more step and add that it requires good trained ears and dedication...AND really accurate monitoring(which most home recording setups do not have). Read Bob Katz' book on mastering as it is the "bible" on the subject(I give you 50 pages before you start thinking, "holy crap, this stuff is complicated").

Well, maybe a decade, if you have the raw talent and the right teachers. It took me longer than that, but I was a slow kid.
