Hi there!

There are here many threads about the low end but
one of the things i think is an art is how the top end and high mid Freq. range sounds so good and smooth in the mixes of the Pros.

But in the other hand seems that the vocals, gtrs and other instruments are not very bright at all !! actually some can be very neutral and even many tracks have such a GREAT DARK QUALITY that sounds open, smooth, real and warm!!!

I realized that many amateur mixes sounds harsh and overly bright compared to the Mixes of the Pros, but what intrigues me is how the Mixes of the Pros compared to the Amateur Mixes sounds much more open even if they are less bright!! how do you do that??????

I know lots have to do with Skills, Ear and Experience, but it is also because of the great quality of their gear?
I mean gear that just have such an amazing top end, resolution and clarity that with just a bit of EQ make the track sounds open, real, natural and warm? (Hardware gear?)

Can you guys can explain the tricks, techniques and considerations in order to get that great . tonal balance, smooth and natural top end.
and how do u do make a tracks to sound not so bright but yet very open, natural and real.
