One of the things I like about chip tracking is that I don't have to worry about EQing and mixing, which I'm rather terrible at (muddy mixes abound). However, I don't want to run from my weaknesses forever! *dynamic anime posing here*

That said, are there any resources y'all recommend for learning how to achieve more professional sounding mixes?

im not the best at mixing, and i dont have any specific resources but here are some general tips:
- make sure each instrument/voice has its own frequency space that it occupies, and its own space in panning.
- use instruments that contrast in terms of attack/decay
- create contrast when using reverb and delay, have some instruments sound more "wet" than others
- use gradual fx automation to make repeating parts feel more "alive"
- depending on the vibe you're going for, you can use sidechaining to make kick drums pop
- use some kind of ambient layer, either a pad, or noise, or field recording to fill in the cracks of an arrangement
- use compression to tame overly sharp transients, but dont use so much compression that all the dynamic contrast is erased

Awesome! I've heard most of these things, but tend to only be able to hold one or two in mind at a time. Having them all written out in one spot like this is a huge help - thanks!

Simple, yet concisely written. You're also of decently great help to other musicians and young 'sceners around!
