Today we are going to be talking about a quick guide in several installations on how to give your recorded song a good mix. These tips can also be applied to using live sound as well, so keep your imagination wide with possibilities.
The next step you want to take is filtering out some unneeded frequencies. This is a MUST in recorded audio, but it can also help when working with MIDI and the sound coming from virtual instruments.
In situation where you have mic bleeding (meaning that you are capturing unintended recorded audio – say from another instrument playing or from another room) you need to make sure it is not there for when you do the final mastering. Using a low pass filter (LPF) that cuts high frequencies, or a high pass filter (HPF) that cuts low frequencies will be the best bet in a plug-in to use for cleaning out your audio.
This will allow instruments that naturally sound in the extreme low or high ends of our hearing to have less frequencies competing against them. The filtering out of unnecessary sounds will make the necessary ones pop-out!
