Mix clarity using UnMasking Techniques

from Making a Scene Presents Hosted by Richard LHommedieu

Making a Scene Presents - Mix Clarity: The Truth About Masking (And How to Fix It) by a recording engineer who’s spent way too many nights chasing clarity in crowded mixes There’s a moment every indie artist hits when a mix sounds almost perfect… but something feels wrong. The vocals are there, the bass is there, the guitars are crunchy, the kick is thumping — yet somehow, it all sounds like a muddy soup instead of a clear, powerful record. You might try turning things up, EQing harder, or adding compression, but nothing seems to fix it. That’s not a “bad mix.” That’s masking — one of the most misunderstood problems in music production. http://www.makingascene.org
