hello there HR people,
i'm looking for some help with mastering things. i know a fair bit about mixing/mastering already but thought the newbie forum would be best for this situation.
i've been mixing a metal track for about a month and i love the mix to bits - now i'm onto the mastering. the overall eq & compression is sounding great on cubase sx3 and i have har-bal to polish any eq problems or w/e,
but one thing is bugging me -
i listen to the mix in front of the speakers from the monitors, and say if i move my head down about 1/2 feet and listen to it, i hear different frequencies coming out the speakers around the 600hz-1.5Khz area - and they go away again once i return to the same position - and when i move my head above the speakers the high end seems to cut out from about 9Khz onwards...
...until now i've basically dismissed this situation as different waveforms going around the room or however you want to put it, BUTTTT i put on a professionally mastered track and wherever i go around the room i don't hear any weird frequencies coming out of the song. when i start cutting out the 600hz-1500hz frequency stuff on my track it still has the same effect btw
how can this be solved? with the right multiband compression? or is it to do with the mix? w/e it is i need to know,
thanks for reading,
andy
