Mixing for Depth and Space
1) First Make Notes of How you want to Stack All Tracks 2) Clean Up Low and High Frequency Content from Tracks that Don’t Need Them 3) Sidechain Tracks that Use a Very Similar Frequency Spectrum Against Each Other (e.g. with Trackspacer, DSEQ, Multiplicity) 4) Clean Midrange by Listen Through an EQ (e.g. ADPTR) that…

Energy Example with a Far Away Signal
Direct Sound = -2dB, Just as a Comparison to What in the Real World Happens we Assume Direct Sound is -2dB Early Reflections = -3dB Since ER have to Travel and Come Back with Less Energy, but Since ER have to Travel Less Far than the Direct Sound the Energy is Pretty Close (Only Minus…

Energy Example with a Close Signal
Direct Sound = 0dB, Just as a Comparison to What in the Real World Happens we Assume Direct Sound is 0dB Early Reflections = -3dB Since ER have to Travel and Come Back with Less Energy, Quasi Half as Loud as the Direct Sound Late Reflections = -6dB Since LR have to Travel Even More…
