I made a dance song (some chill vibed dubtechno). You can listen to the end result here:
https://soundcloud.com/manducator/shoplifter-master
You can listen to the mix here:
https://soundcloud.com/manducator/shoplifter-mix
Download of the mix is here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/jqbin ... er+mix.wav
The loudness of the mix isn't comparable to commercial songs because this is the version that still has to be mastered. So turn up the volume to enjoy.
I took the effort to write down the mixing process.
Don't be blinded by the type of song, most guidelines about mixing are the same for other genres too.
I created the song in FL Studio 11 and the only third party plugin I used is Reveal Sound's Spire vsti.
You can download the project of the unmixed song here:

For those who don't use FL Studio and/or Spire, you can download all 16 unmixed stems here:

Here are the links to 2 videos that are a great addition to my pdf:
I ripped the HD version of those videos and added a wav of pink noise in this download:

I wrote a document on how I transformed the mix into the final product. You can download it here:

Any comment is welcome, tell me what you like and what you don't like. I hope there are others who are willing to share some knowledge too.
