Got a harsh Mix?

Got a harsh Mix?  Simply cutting the high frequencies will affect the tonal balance of your whole mix. That might be necessary, but more often than not you only want to reduce the louder high-frequencies. For this task, a dynamic EQ is perfect. You can set the band of the high frequencies you want to reduce, then set the threshold so the reduction only happens when those high-frequencies are too loud in the mix.  ————— Source: https://www.masteringthemix.com/

Bring Guitars to life with exciters⁠ —————————⁠ Some would classify an exciter as a type of distortion effect. However, it’s more than that. An exciter adds saturation to the signal frequencies in the higher ranges (3k and up). This produces more overtones and adds richness and crispness to your mix. It enhances the sound where EQ alone can’t seem to get it.⁠ —————————⁠ Source: https://www.masteringthemix.com/

How To Set The Perfect Monitoring Levels For Your Home Studio?

How To Set The Perfect Monitoring Levels For Your Home Studio ————— 1. You first need to decide what digital level you want to mix to. If You’re mastering audio for streaming platforms you might calibrate to around -14LUFS. If you’re making club music you might choose a figure closer to -9LUFS. —————— 2. Now you’ll need a pink noise file for the calibration. The pink noise file should match the level you chose in step 1. The pink noise produces an equal amount of noise across the frequency spectrum. If you have an untreated room, you can restrict the pink noise to 500Hz-2kHz to minimize low-frequency standing waves or reflections. Open up a test oscillator in your DAW and select the pink noise setting. You can use LEVELS to adjust the pink noise to the ideal LUFS value of your future music projects. —————— 3. An SPL meter is now needed to measure the acoustic sound-pressure level produced by your monitors. You’ll need an SPL meter with a C-weighted filter option, which is flatter...
