Basic Mixing: Equalization 6 - Subtractive and Additive (Equalization Techniques) MRTN Audio
In this video, we'll be discussing the two main techniques we commonly use when mixing music.
A very common scenario we encounter when mixing is that the tracks weren't recorded in the most suitable way. In fact, a large part of the job as a music mixing engineer involves repairing audio. Over time, these solutions become second nature.
So, the most appropriate way to tackle this problem is by using subtractive mixing.
This technique consists of using the equalizer to remove the accumulated frequency points that least benefit the overall sound of each instrument.
It's recommended to use a good parametric equalizer to have the greatest possible control over these frequency cuts.
All musicians can help create a better world through their compositions; music can be an anchor, a tool for development and communication. This is achieved through high-quality releases, eliminating the limitations of an expensive recording studio by doing it yourself with the equipment you already own. Dare to call your work "professional." MRTN Audio has the tools to help you achieve it.
