That's weak tea. If your mix sounds weak, it could be a fault in what process involving setting the optimum level at every place in the signal path?

Answer Gain staging

Back in the analog days, the process of setting optimal levels involved physical adjustments to voltage with faders and knobs. The idea was to achieve a level that was nice and hot without distortion or feedback. In the digital age, while there isn't much of a noise floor, you still want to effectively set gain to take advantage of the full digital "word".
