Ez people, I've come across this problem a few times now where I've created a pad or string sound using a filter with quite a bit of resonance, which is essential to the basic creation of the sound so it's not something I wanna change...
The problem is that resonance obviously then results in a massive peak in the frequency spectrum, and when I mix the sound to an appropriate level in my track I often find that the peak is just too harsh on the ears, but turning down the level of the track is just taking it down in the mix too much
Occasionally I can use subtractive eq to tame the peak, but this doesn't always seem to work, especially when the sound pretty much IS the peak and doesn't consist of much else across the frequency spectrum..
Anyone got any other techniques that might help solve my problem?
