I have listened to quite a few demos recently and am quite surprised by the poor quality standards of some of these from a basic technical point of view. Most have very poor balances and the eq and fx can only be described as awful, in a lot of cases spoiling a good song and performance. It is about time that some of the more experienced members gave some tips and advice on how to correct these issues. Maybe the folks do not listen to their demos from this point of view or they just do not have the ears or know how to correct these flaws but a crash course in mixing and editing might not be a bad idea. If you cannot get the simple basics right how can you sell a song. It also might help save a lot of time effort and money wasted on producing a bad demo that has to be redone.
