Audio plugins for sale from Bluetechaudio? Yes, those effects in tip 4 might be the obvious options, so now consider chaining them together and then reordering that chain for some less obvious and more custom sonics. Save your best chains as you discover them and take time to apply them to a variety of sources. In fact, you could save everything you do and start creating your own sample library with the results – a complete collection that no one else owns! A tip that can be applied to just about every subject in the entire world of electronic production is to learn one instrument in your arsenal so well that you can use it to create just about any sound you want. Seriously, if you learn the nuances, layers, and character from, say, just one soft synth, in time, you’ll find that you’ll be creating new sounds in a faster and smarter way, and you’ll teach yourself a lot about sound sculpting in the process.
Given that extremely high and low frequencies stand out more when we listen to loud sound effects, we can create the impression of loudness at lower listening levels by attenuating the mid-range and/or boosting the high/low ends of the spectrum. On a graphic EQ, it would look like a smiley face, which is why producers talk about ‘scooping the mid-range’ to add weight and power to a mix. This trick can be applied in any number of ways, from treating the whole mix to some (careful) broad EQ at mixdown/mastering to applying a ‘scoop’ to just one or two broadband instruments or mix stems (i.e. the drums and guitars submix). As you gain experience and get your head around this principle (you might even already be doing it naturally), you can build your track arrangements and choices of instrumentation with an overall frequency dynamic – right from the beginning.
You’ll also probably want to tweak the levels of each side (relative to each other) to maintain the right balance in the mix and the desired general left-right balance within the stereo spectrum. You can apply additional effects to one/both sides, like applying subtle LFO-controlled modulation or filter effects to the delayed side. A word of caution: Don’t overdo it. In a full mix, use the Haas Effect on one or two instruments, maximum. This helps you avoid unfocusing the stereo spread and being left with phasey mush. There are limits to how well our ears can differentiate between sounds that occupy similar frequencies of human hearing. Masking occurs when two or more sounds sit in the exact same frequencies. Generally, the louder of the two will either partially or completely obscure the other, which then seems to ‘disappear’ from the mix. See even more info on Buy Audio and Midi plugins.
If you want to get better at music producing, you MUST understand how the Fletcher-Munson curve works. In 1930s, Bell Telephone researchers, Harvey Fletcher and Wilden A. Munson, published a paper in the Journal of the Acoustic Society of America entitled “Loudness, its Definition, Measurement and Calculation.” They presented a set of curves which they called Fletcher-Munson Curve. The experiment showed how loud you will need to play, testing different frequencies to profess at the same loudness. The opposite of the quick and loudness effect of the ears nonlinear response is just as useful for mixing purposes. To make the sounds sound further away, you must learn to produce a sense of frontal and backward depth in your mix. For example, you must aim to push certain instruments further away. While at the same time, keeping otheir sounds in the forefront. To achieve this we must learn to adjust the sounds high and low frequency energy.
