After some complaints, I will try to lower the mixing a little bit, but since I want to modify audio files (they have almost no reviews), it's pretty hard for me to modify all tracks to a better mixing. I have to download my track, then go to mp3cut.net, then modify the volume. Sounds easy right?
Well, I have to download 190 tracks and despite changing the titles of 120 tracks first, this adds 70 tracks to my list! So, I don't know what's a desirable volume... Maybe -20%? Or -30%?
@underscore8298 @derailment No, I do not, however I think that if the program you mentioned allows it, you could export all the instruments individually and import them into another DAW, such as FL Studio or Ableton or any other program that provides at the very least EQ software. Also, from what I saw online, you cannot really EQ stuff on JummBox. I think that goes for most tracker DAWs tbf (unless it is something more modular like SunVox, which is what @underscore8298 uses).
TL;DR - I do not know how to EQ on JummBox, and I doubt it's even possible. I suggest exporting instruments individually, importing the audio tracks to other software and EQ each track there.
Hope that helps!
P.s. Thanks for mentioning me so I could help out!
Both FL and Ableton are very expensive (They're around three quarter grand), and the trial version ends like all trials (With an exception of WinRAR and some other softwares, that 40-day trial isn't a 40-day trial but a 40-eon trial (However, it's not a DAW)).
You can probably equalize in JB, as there is an EQ filter.
@SpeedoRH @derailment I might have to do some research on Jummbox. What is it??
@derailment @derailment Well, in the case there is an EQ filter on JummBox (I think I might have found it myself as well), you could start by removing the bassy frequencies (so around <120Hz) from everything except for the kick, snare (optional) and bass. The rest for when it comes to EQ'ing instruments is kind of complicated, and it mostly relies on your ears so it can be done properly, so I don't think I can tell you anything aside from some rules of thumb.
FL can cost anywhere between £85-409 ($110-535) whilst Ableton can cost anywhere between £69-539 ($90-705). In the case of FL you can either buy the Fruity Edition (it discounts the pricier editions by the amount you paid when you do so) or use the trial, which absolutely does not end at any point in time at all, and I can say so myself, as I used the trial for about a year all the way back in 2017. When I did eventually pay for FL, I paid nowhere near $750, I paid more around $200 for the producer edition, and I am pretty much satisfied with that tbf.
The pet peeve of the trial is that you can save your project, but can't re-open it until you get the full version, which shouldn't be a big issue since you only would have to put stems there and mix them, not make full-on tracks. However, most of everything else is absolutely free except for some plugins that you wouldn't be using for mixing anyways. Ableton I am pretty sure has a 90 day trial, and I am not aware of whether you lose all the features of Ableton after the trial or you can't use Ableton anymore, period.
By the way, does JummBox have compression built-in? Because that's also something else you might want to use in mixing.
Do upper-y position frequencies have to be modified?
@derailment Never heard of those, so I think not.
They are the y-position frequencies.
@derailment What do they do exactly?
They control the volume of the frequency.
@derailment Ooooh! So you are just talking about the frequency gain controls! You do have to change them up. If you don't, it won't make a difference on the sound of the instrument.
Dors it depend on the frequency?
@derailment I assume you mean "does the change in sound depend on which frequency I decrease/increase?"
In case that is what you meant, yes. All EQs have lows on the left side, mids in the center and highs on the right side, so depending on where you place a band, certain frequencies will be removed/added.
Do the JB presets have good frequencies?
OVERSCORE
Lowering the volume of a track isn’t really mixing… mixing is just the volume of each instrument in the track, EQ, leveling, and other technical stuff like that. You can ask my friend @speedorh about how to mix a track properly, he knows a lot about it!

I know lowering the volume of a track isn't really mixing, but I can't edit any of my old songs, I can only edit my very recent songs. Also, does he also know mixing in JB?
