One of the simplest and most common scenarios is when the Bass and the Kick drum have big overlaps in their 'harmonic content'. Each sounds full and big when you solo them but together they become a blur or smudge each other out. Sorting out the frequencies with either filtering out some of the sub from the Bass sound and tweaking the EQ on the Kick can result in them both working well in the mix with each one audible and separate.
Its cleaning up sounds that share similar frequency 'centres' by highlighting other frequencies by either cutting or boosting certain bands. |
