Hello,
Okay I have a quick (or maybe not quick) question. One of the most major roadblocks I hit everytime I master something is mud... mud everywhere!
I record drums (clavia ddrum4), guitar (clean and distorted through j-station), bass (acoustic/electric through a j-station).
I record the drums straight into the recorder (a mackie mdr) via a presonus bluetube pre. Same with the guitars and bass.
Everything sounds fine during performance, and even when mixing... but the mastered piece sounds like mud! The guitars are lifeless and the bass is way too boomy.
So, my question is this... where on an EQ (I have a 4-band 2-channel parametric) does mud live? And could anyone recommend a method in reducing it to a (very) dull roar.
Thanks!
