This week myself and Lee were in the Multirack studio looking at techniques to boost the overall loudness of a mix. Lee explained to me the importance of giving every instrument inside a mix it’s own frequency space so they are not battling each other. He suggested I use a plugin with a frequency analyzer such as Blue Cat’s, by analyzing all the frequencies produced by an instrument I can carefully remove the low end ones that are not contributing to the overall sound of said instrument.

For next week I will break one of my sketches up into multiple stems and import them into Pro Tools, I will then put this technique into practice
