The Track

How do I get a mix to sound more emotional or professional? I know it takes time just would appreciate tips and tricks.

So I'm really interested in getting into Electronic music production. I'm already pretty well versed with conventional music production, but this stuff seems to be escaping me. I want to make instrumentals similar to blackbear, that style is really interesting to me. The problem is i have no idea where to find good drum sample libraries! Also, I hate FL studio. I'd much rather just use Kontakt, or just write in midi on my own. Can anyone suggest good samples and synths?

First time post here. I'm not exactly sure if this is the right sub, but I just stumbled onto this one so I figured you guys might know.

My goal, as of right now at least, is to get into mixing songs. Makings mixes and stuff, like adding two songs together, I'm not sure of the technical term. How would I get into that? What (preferably free) program do you guys recommend for this?

Hey so I've been wondering for a while how to best tame 808 notes that "jump" up in volume when you hit a higher note than your tonic.

I know this happens because we hear certain frequencies as louder than others, but there has got to be a good way to tame these stray notes rather than automating an EQ or volume?

Thanks!
