This video was a lightbulb moment for me. So much effort spent on the low end and the sparkle thinking that it was the most important element. Great tutorial. Subbed.

I cannot recommend his mixing and mastering course enough. I've finally got my first freelance job for creating a radio advert and my knowledge of mixing helped tremendously. The discord community was super helpful as well. I've also managed to buy ableton live with the educational discount and basically got a course and ableton for just the price of ableton. Thanks Anthony ❤

Nice work antony. A good thing to note that helps your case is the effect of masking, not just masking of sounds at the same time and in the same range, but spectral masking which happens over a longer period of time and masks from the bottom up… so if your low end is too loud, its masks the low mid range, if the low mid range is too loud it masks the top mids, if the top mids are too loud it masks the highs. So by focusing on the mids, then balancing your lows against that perhaps can help people with lesser listening environments as they focus on what they can hear reliably first. The issues I hear more than anything with beginner/intermediate mixes is too much bass, so the mids are not mixed well, or too much mids, so the highs are not detailed enough. My 2c 🤘🏼

I think this could be a useful tip for identifying potential problems you might not be hearing as is. But I also think it's worth pointing out that this technique feels like it's coming more from a mastering perspective. It's good for finding a little more balance, but overall I think the issues could have been addressed more in the/ a mixing phase, and leaving a little less work for the/ a mastering phase. It's still a good point to make though; focusing more on the midrange than the low bass or upper highs. That said, I think the specific examples you gave in adjusting the EQ were all things that could have been solved ahead of time, potentially. With the exception of adjusting the highs at the very end.

LOL. Best way to focus on the mids is to get old and loose all the high frequency in your hearing. At 2.45 I hear no highs. Just the Bass. @ 71 I still like messing with music though.
@Jazman3425 ай бұрын
Interested in your view on "mix cubes". One question re mixing in general. Seems to me that the sounds you are removing in low mids would be coming from Kick or sub bass instruments. Wouldn't it be better to EQ at instrument rather than mix? Reason being to avoid removing lows from other instruments. Also as to high frequency hearing loss, mine starts to reduce at about 1.5k and is gone totally above about 3-4k.

Question.. How do you find those Anand Stealth for producing and mixing? Due to my living arrangements I can no longer use any of my monitors and I really struggle using cans for EDM. I have about 8 pairs some bass heavy some open back and lacking the low end...dt770, her9, sundara to name a couple. But I'm constantly having to change them out to get a true feel for what I've been working on because as soon as I get the chance to go check out mixes on the monitors everything falls apart and I lose the will to live. It's delaying everything I do and making me over produce everything. I'm wanting Audeze but that kind of money is something I don't have. Would love some feedback on using the Anand

I appreciate you explaining the “why”. You’ve certainly come closer to a concrete answer than most I’ve seen. Unfortunately, in the end, you can explain your reasons, but it all ends with “that sounds better to me.” 5:35 this is cool. I really wish I could hear the difference.

This sentiment is why Mahogany is usually my go to tonewood - it acts as a natural EQ to round off highs and lows. You can really dig in and play loud without distorted overtones of highs/lows that diminish Polyphony, as well as also play delicately and still have full definition.

It could be used whenever but I’d say it’s better for when your tracks are all separated because when you’re mastering youre listening for the cohesiveness of the entire track in full range. I just used a single track for simplicities sake.
