Please compare the difference between the two mixes below.
Would probably better if you can listen with your headphones.
Music A:
Music B:
Disregard the difference in volume. Just focus on the tone and stereo spectrum.
Music A - Very wide, emphasized high end, crisp. Its a little harsh and high ends sounds a little punchy to the ears. Each instrument occupy a wide part of the stereo spectrum. Each instrument and vocals sounds like more upfront.
Music B - Soft and smooth. Not harsh and high frequency seems to be forced to tame down regardless of what part of the song. High end does not bleed out from the over all mix. Each instrument occupy a small portion of the stereo spectrum. Sounds like the whole mixed was pushed back further from you. This is probably why you can hear each instruments because each of them are small within the spectrum and does not occupy a lot of space compared to music B.
My music tend to come out similar with music A where everything is wide and crisp. I like to achieve music B where each instrument is small and overall tone is smooth.
Anyone knows the differences in recording/mixing/mastering techniques between the two?
Assuming I have a project with recorded tracks but not mixed yet and everything is raw, from this point, can I achieve both mix type through mixing process or does it have to do with the recording technique or mastering? Or is it the sound source and/or equipment? How do you not bleed out the high end from the mix? I tried de-esser and it does not seems to work.
Thank you!
