Let’s say you are the aforementioned student above who felt his reference track was too bright. You don’t know what the right amount of brightness is. The truth is, you really don’t have any idea of what a properly balanced mix (tonality wise) sounds like. Do You Really Know What Proper Brightness Is?
How do you know if your mix will sound good outside of your studio? How do you know what your mix sounds like in a playlist of other songs mixed by other people? And you genuinely might have a really good mix!īut the problem is that now, you have an isolated mix – but no point of reference. We mix our little hearts out, using all of the balancing, EQing, and compression techniques we know to get a great mix. We hunker down in our little audio caves, cut off from things like sunlight, fresh air, and people – and we get to work. The majority of our mixing happens in isolation.

2) the brightness level of our mixes is less important than what what the pro mix is “telling” us. There are two issues here: 1) it’s frustrating (and interesting) that a pro mix can sound much brighter than our own. So bright in fact, that I don’t like them.
The question went like this: “Graham, when I reference pro mixes in my home studio I notice that they are much brighter than mine. My Mix Doesn’t Sound As Bright As The Pro Mix Do you find your final mixes don’t sound nearly as bright or present as your favorite pro mixes? You’re not alone.ĭuring a recent segment of my Creative Live masterclass on EQ and compression I was teaching the students about using good reference tracks while mixing to make tonal tweaks to your mix – in hopes that it will more closely match that of what you hear out in the real world.Ī question came in from the online audience and it was all too familiar.
