Ok, so lately I've been hearing alot that my tracks are muddy.
Now before I didn't pay much attention to that, I thought that would correct itself with some better gear or more skill.
But I've been thinking now and I figured that bad reference speakers / headphones shouldn't be to blame much. It's equing (read skill), right.
So then I've started looking for some eq tips but mostly I come across ''u just need to eq things properly'' or something like that which doesn't say much on itself rly.
Then i figured it wouldn't hurt to ask...
So how do u actualy EQ all the random or less random sounds on ur track?
If 2 sounds interfere (and they mostly due) how do u make then sound as clean as possible ? Now that may be easy when they occupy mostly different freq's but what when u have sounds that occupy mostly the same range ?
I've heard panning 1 of them right and other left is a good idea but that works when there's 2 sounds, what when there's more ? (since u can't pan on 3 sides)
Let's say u have 1 sound u need to fit in everything else, do u just find the most important freq of that sound and go through every other sound and eq out that freq? That would work if the sound doesn't occupy a wide range.
What if u have a lead that occupys a very wide range ? If u Eq out from it all the freq's that other sounds occupy there won't be anything left for the lead...
I know i'm probably over complicating this but it crossed my mind and I figured I could learn something more about it so if any1 would be kind enough to help with this or just explain how they fit in their sounds together i would appreciate it
