midrange

[Monkey Allen]

Professional studios don't settle for tracks that are really muddy and boomy plus being really sharp and brittle in the high end do they? If you were the recording engineer and you dished up tracks like that you'd be sacked wouldn't you? I need to somehow stop recording such tracks in my 8x9ft home studio. Not that I'll get sacked for it. But, err...

These days I've learned to eq the source keyboard sound before I record it . Then more eq after the fact . Don't know whether this is right but I've found that a piano can take a considerable amount of cutting particularly in the mid frequencies and still have its own voice in a mix without it having been destroyed altogether.
