My basic question is how do I go about mixing "soft" drums that sit in the mix and support the melodic/harmonic elements of a song. I say soft because I'm not looking for gigantic thumping drums like a rock or hip hop style thing. Closer to jazz or folk. Some references could be Joni Mitchell - Help Me, John Mayer - Queen of California or Bob Dylan Nashville skyline album.

The aimed true peak for mixing music can be the same as the peak loudness of -6 dB to leave headroom for mastering. The mastering engineer will, in turn, raise the true peak parameter as recommended by streaming platforms such as Spotify or Apple Music, to -1 dB, or -2 dB for louder songs.
We have just discussed the headroom and available space of dynamic range for music. But what about the other mixing levels that refer to average and perceived loudness? Are they important in preparing my mix for mastering? How do I know that my mix is loud enough?
The streaming services by setting the loudness limits for master records ensure that the music maintains an optimal listening experience for the audience, and does not exceed a certain volume threshold that could cause hearing damage or distortion.
Use the Audio Mixer to adjust audio balance and volume for different tracks in your project. You can adjust the balance and level of audio contained within your video clips, and within soundtrack and narration audio. For example, you may want to increase the volume of the narration and decrease the volume of the soundtrack at different points for emphasis or so that quiet voices can be heard above the music.
Sometimes the background music is loud and the dialogsin a clip are not audible. To ensure that the dialogs are easilyheard, the volume of the background music must be lowered. SmartMixenables automatic adjustment of the volume of the background music.For best results, place dialog clips on the Audio 1 track or theNarration track (Foreground tracks) and music on the Soundtracktrack (Background tracks). Premiere Elements analyzesclips on all Foreground tracks for dialogs. Keyframes are then smartly/automaticallycreated to lower the volume level to ensure that the dialog in theForeground track is audible. SmartMix adjustments apply to all audioclips on the Expert view timeline, not just on the selected clip.When you use SmartMix on an audio track, keyframes you applied previouslyon the Soundtrack are deleted.

For the style of music that I make the keys are often in the background but that day the keys were too upfront.I then decided to add a compressor to control dynamic range before any other processing.
As I was playing around with the attack I realized that a fast attack pushed the rhodes far-back and a slow attack brought them in front.
From that day on it made perfect sense why a sound will be punchy when you use a slow attack and sound smooth with a fast attack.
Compression can also be a great tool to help you create contrast for all the individual tracks in your mixes and put them in a certain space.
The transients will usually determine whether a sound should be in your face or at the back of the mix. 17dc91bb1f
