I have a song that gets real busy toward the end and it sounds all mushy... the top end doesn't cut through - there's a lot of sounds competing for space...
I read that some ppl take each track and hi and lo-pass it to center kind of a bell curve on just the audible frequencies for the track....
is that worth the time and effort? (I would have to do it offline since VST doesn't have shelf EQ)
I realize that I will need to do more EQ while all the tracks are playing together to really solve all my problems, but I was wondering if any of you routinely did that kind of shelving EQ to help out, or as a starting point.....
also, would I lose anything by doing that? I always hear that those upper inaudible frequencies add to a mix, so am I going to lose something there? or will some of those freq's be replaced by decaying reverb?
any EQ tips/advice appreciated....
thanks!!
