So when you are processing an instrument, always try to objectively listen to it in context and see if your FX Chain is really adding clarity to the full picture. In the grand schemes of things is way more important to check how your track sounds as a whole and not how every element sound on its own. If every channel is being boosted on the same frequency range, is very likely that your mix will sound flat and harsh: so before moving on to the next stage, make sure that every piece of the puzzle blends in smoothly with the others. It may happen that some channels sound good on their own but when combined with others frequencies clash and phasing issues take place. This topic is really wide and thus I tried to condense some tips you might not have heard a million times.I hope you guys will find it useful! 🔥Īlways put elements in context: Every track is a Puzzle: each piece makes sense in context and you should always keep that in mind when you are processing the elements of your song.
