Hi
Actually I'm mixing a song. A few days ago I tried to do a test mix to check how it sounded. I thought it sounded good but checking it on my car it sucked so much.
So I tried to compare it with some reference song (a Jacob Hansen's one and a Tue Madsen's one), through a level meter.
First impressions was: my mix sounded Close,not too much exciting,really flat)
I found that each reference songs had a scoop around 250Hz-500Hz and much more trebbles and punchy sound.
So I tried to eq a little the "scooped" zone and to raise the hi-freq area....now it seems better but tomorrow I re-mix totally the song having in mind these frequencies.
Now the question: are there any general key-frequencies to avoid some weird sounds?
For example, 250Hz-500Hz could give a "carton"/closed sound?
Moreover, where can I get addictional highs without fucks-up cymbals,snare and kick? Cymbals have already lot of highs, also guitars and voice....so I don't know..
What do you think?
