can somebody help me with this stupid frequency that fatiquing me?
my mix is almost clear but i've gotta problem with overdubed guitar which it disturbing another.
another has clear but when i un mute the rest of o.d. guitar track. it's sound muddy and fatiquing.
please.thanks
 
If it sounds fatiguing, try to back off the frequencies around 4500Hz. Personally, I prefer to use a DeEsser set to around that frequency. Seems to be more transparent, and does the job well (I tend to do this on distorted snares the most).
 
Do you have a parametric EQ? If so just throw on a big cut (or boost) and sweep the frequency up and down until you zero in on the offending frequency range. Then cut it accordingly.
However, are you sure it is not phase issues with the multiple guitar tracks?
 
i don't know yet. but if that happened, what i have to do?
where is the dull,fatiguing freq mostly happened?
i use behringer truth 8" B2031A active flat studio reference anyway.is that worth?
thanks dude

Well, any frequency can be suspect if there are problems in that area. Nobody can tell you where your problem lies. You've got to learn how to locate it yourself. Try the parametric EQ method.
 
When I have a build up of a particular frequency that starts causing problems in the mix, I do this: Rather than cut that frequency on the whole mix, I go through track by track and try to find the track(s) that are causing the build up (sounds like you already know) and cut the frequency out of individual track(s). I try not to take away sound from a track that needs it. For example, cutting a mix around 400-500hz might dampen the thwack of the snare, so take it from the bass, vocal, or something else that may be affected less by the adjustment and leave the snare alone. Make sense?

I guess I'm saying that your guitar may or may not be ok, you just need to take the offending frequency from the source that needs it least. Use the parametric trick already explained to find the frequency, then look for where you can best afford to turn it down. Fatiguing muddiness is often around 200hz. Could also be a build up of sub-bass stuff under 70hz. Could also be a little higher around 400hz. Just gotta look for it.
 
Sounds like a few projects of mine. :o

Better late than never!:p
