EQ- Equalizing can go a long way when making different sounding tracks. More or less, apply more eq to the low-end of the track to make it bang, or apply more eq to the high freq.’s to clear it up. CERTAINLY THIS IS NOT A CURE-ALL APPROACH JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION TO GET YOU STARTED...
word the avatar threw me off topic for a min. too...but i would say once you have everything arranged play the beat and lower the master volume a lil bit to make it more clear
Just make room for each instrument on the frequency spectrum, EQ will make or break the beat IMO so I stick to subtractive eq'ing for the most part. But everything depends on the situation and the beat.
There is no certain technique or process to making a track bang... and keeping it clear.
It completely depends on the instrumentation used for the track, and how it needs to be mixed. No two tracks are alike when it comes to mixing...
No piece of gear or certain equipment will work 100% of the time.
I'm not downing your topic, I'm just being realistic. Each track requires it's own mixing process... When an engineer gets to a point where they work in a "process" rather than objectively listening, and mixing accordingly... That's when bad mixes get churned out, and misinformation starts to spread.
You want to have your track clear with good low end as well. You want to separate all your tracks, EQ, have good panning and effects... The more you separate your tracks an EQ, the better control you have and the better your mix will sound... That's easier said then done...
