Thank you. I found a lot of my tracks sounds great on headphones and monitors, and even on smartphone speakers, but popular bluetooth speaskers all of a sudden make it sound so out of balance. And sure enough when I look at the spectrum, it's those exact freq ranges that are peaking. A touch of mixing and mastering to ballance out that spectrum makes the whole thing sound like a well glued mix.
Hi Sargin! Glad to help.. I know some daws come with some kind of analyzer integrated. Also izotope ozone.. There is also a free one by voxengo called span, which is also cool
I've found this straight line thing to be so untrue for chilled stuff I've started making recently. Lots of different mid frequencies close together sound much louder than a relatively isolated low end range that looks visually very high on my analyser. Even with such a spectral curve (starting high with effectively 1 wide sine-shaped peak on the left and ending low but with many narrow peaks close together), I get people complaining there's not enough bass... Are you able to explain this? I find the more I trust the analyser the worse my mixes get...
Thank you! I just bought a pair of headphones and i don't think i could fully trust my ears for mixing since it's not the best monitoring headphones out there so using an analyzer actually helps!
Hi Rooh! Glad to hear that! Mixing with headphones is fine for a while, but I would recommend you to think about buying speakers at some point. I often use headphones to double check my mixes but not as my main monitoring system.
Headphones are great, but to really check a mix for sure you need the L and R speakers to interact in the air. The waves from each speaker will reflect and interact, and interfere constructively and destructively, and with headphones you can not hear any of this, as it's a product of the room. Sometimes a mix sounds amazing on headphones and then if you play it in a room, it's wrecked.
Hey Fernan, do you have any tips on how to use the frequency analyser to help carve out space for each instrument in a mix? For example, if you are EQing synths and guitars, how to know that they are all sitting in their own frequency range. Thanks for the content and help in advance! :)
with pro q 3 and some izotope tools you can activate frequency masking to see whats overlapping and make a call from there, that way you can make the synth a little brighter and cut the guitar frequencies or vice versa
Cool video. I'm new to digital media, as I used to do everything on tape using analog spectrum analyzers to check out the limitations of the medium, so I could over compensate for the loss of frequencies. Also you should consider doing an audiobook for Antonio Banderas' autobiography! 👍👍
Simple, clear and straight to the point. Very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for a brief but good explanation of this!
Happy to help! Hope you can use this in your mixes 👌👌
Awesome video thank you very much fernan
You're very welcome!

Thank you my friend
Happy to help!
Thank you for explaining it... Very helpful.
Hi Cary! Cool.. Glad you liked it. I always mix using this technique to help me make the right desicions. Don't forget to trust your ears as well 😊
Thank you so much. I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks. Your explanation was simple and informative.
What else can we use instead of fabfilter q2? Can any eq stock plugins show us the same graphic?

IK multimedia - Meter plug-in.
Excellent tutorial.
Thanks direct to the point
Great explanation, thank you!!
Glad to help!!
more videos on tonal balance please 🙏.
GENIUS!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Very easy to follow and to the point, gracias!
Dope tutorial! Thanx!

Thanks bro! I'll take in consideration to work with Banderas 🤣🤣
Whats your fav reverb to use
You can make your own reverb
i would wish the same video for logic pro :/
You show problems, what about solution?
