My friends, when did you last consider embracing betamanlet's dual-bi-law of mixing?
-
EVERYTHING CAN BE LOWPASSED. EVERYTHING WILL BE LOWPASSED
-
EVERYTHING CAN BE HIGHPASSED. EVERYTHING WILL BE HIGHPASSED
You will not find anyone who is not a better mixer with than without this pair. Forget the name of every soft-distortion plugin you have every known. The best single way to glue a mix together is to give it a fitting master resonance point with a universal roll off. The latter is part of what analog processing does naturally. It ceaselessly surprises me how much of the high end can be rolled off from any piece of audio when the cutoff is simultaneously compensated for with stronger resonance. There is no excuse not to be come a master of this. Musicianship is about tasteful control over aural dynamics. The smaller area of spectrum you can express the full dynamics of your intended musical idea in, the more cohesive the song will sound, the better it will translate from system to system, and the more competent it will make you sound as a musician. More importantly, the amount of arbitrary -12dB bell curve cuts you abuse your tracks with will spontaneously decrease by 90%.
