If there is one way to make your rough mix sound immediately better, it's using a mix bus. The mix bus is a way to group and process your tracks-in this case your whole mix. Making a big picture adjustment to the entire song before you even start mixing immediately elevates your rough mix-you can ballpark a vibe and give it the glue it needs to start sounding like a finished project.
In this video, mixing & mastering engineer Mario Borgatta takes you through a track he's mixing called "OVER IT!" by koby, and demonstrates how he sets up a mix bus in Pro Tools, along with some of his favorite plugins and outboard gear for getting the job done. That said, everything he demonstrates can be achieved with the software and gear that you are most comfortable with.
