So for you experienced amateur producers out there, how did you learn to properly mix/eq your tracks? Does anyone know a good resource out there to help me learn on my own?
My story: I've been recording for a while on my own. I'm working with decent mics, cables, mixers, etc. Though I haven't had the time to switch to Cubase which came with my mixer, so I'm still running all of this through Garageband - which is fine, I like how simple and easy it is. The sound isn't quite there though.
I guess I'm looking to make this more of a science. More laid out steps so I don't end up doing so much guesswork with getting the sound I want. Any help out there in banterland?

If you can, try taking a class. I took a couple sound studio classes and they were a huge help for me. Also, read as much as you can about the subject. There are some great book out there but also a lot of article available for free online. I've found
this archive of articles pretty helpful for example.
