Why do my mixes sound flat, even when everything is technically correct? A Thread 🧵
“Expensive Plugins Won’t Save You” Your mixes aren’t muddy because you need better plugins. They’re muddy because you don’t understand frequency masking. When elements fight in the same range, the louder one wins. Fix it by carving space with subtractive EQ, filtering…
The Parallel Saturation Trick Pros Hide Everyone talks about EQ and compression, but hardly anyone uses parallel saturation the right way. Create a separate aux, slam it with saturation, high-pass it to avoid mud, compress it for control, then blend it in at 10–20%. You get…
Why Your Mixes Sound Great in Your Studio But Fall Apart Everywhere Else (And How to Fix It).
Everyone keeps slapping de-essers on vocals and wondering why they sound dull. Here’s the real way to fix sibilance: use dynamic EQ like a surgeon. Target the exact harsh spot (usually 5–9k) Set a narrow band & dynamic mode Aim for 3–6 dB reduction only when S’s hit Attack…
Here are the 5 surgical EQs that actually fix problems without wrecking your tone: Pro-Q 3 – clean cuts + dynamic mode Oxford EQ – surgical but musical Equilibrium – mastering-grade precision MAutoEQ – AI that fixes resonances F6 – dynamic cuts only when needed
Traditional de-essers sound cheap because they kill your entire top end. If you want natural vocals, use dynamic EQ instead. 🎙️⚡ Do this 👇 Target 5–9 kHz with narrow bands Hit 3–6 dB reduction only on S/T/SH 5–10 ms attack, fast release Add around 3 bands for great results…
Parallel compression is overrated and most engineers use it to cover up bad mixes. 🙄 Fix your source sound first. Then: Crush the parallel channel hard (8:1+) High-pass below 80 Hz Blend it in low (10-20%) Don’t overuse or lose dynamics Use parallel like seasoning, not the…
Your mix isn’t clipping because “digital audio sucks.” It’s clipping because your gain staging is chaos. 🎚️ Do this instead 👇 Track at -18 to -12 dBFS Start every channel with a gain plugin Match plugin input/output Keep tracks around -18 dBFS avg Leave -6 dB on the mix bus…
Your low end sounds weak because your kick and bass are fighting, not working together. ⚔️ Fix it in 5 steps 👇 Separate their frequencies High-pass the bass Add attack to the kick Sidechain (properly) Fix timing by a few ms Do this and your low end locks in like glue. 💥
Here’s the only vocal chain order that actually works 👇 1️⃣ Gain stage 2️⃣ Fix EQ 3️⃣ Compress 4️⃣ De-ess 5️⃣ Tone EQ 6️⃣ Saturate 7️⃣ Glue comp 8️⃣ Dynamic EQ 9️⃣ FX sends 🔟 Limiter Stop guessing. Mix like a pro. 🎙️
Here are 5 one-knob plugins that make your mix sound pro instantly 👇 They do the heavy lifting, you just turn the knob. 🎚️ Slate Digital FG-X Mastering Processor 🎚️ Soundtheory Gullfoss 🎚️ Ozone Master Assistant 🎚️ Softube Tape 🎚️ Waves Greg Wells MixCentric
Bus compression doesn’t glue your mix; consistent levels do.
Nobody cares about your “analog warmth.” They care if the vocal slaps on AirPods.
Most engineers use multiband compression backwards. 🎚️ Don’t compress everything; fix what’s broken. 1. Identify the bad frequency 2. Solo that band 3. Use gentle ratios (2:1–3:1) 4. Slow attacks (10–30 ms) 5. Only compress what needs it Use it to solve problems, not shape…
Ever wonder why your mix sounds great in headphones but falls apart on speakers? The difference lies in how your ears receive sound. Studio monitors give you natural crossfeed. Each ear hears both channels, helping with depth, balance, and stereo imaging. Headphones, on the…
