Even at the most basic level - A song in the key of "A" is going to have buildups at 110, 220, 440Hz (etc.). In the key of "E", 80, 160, 320 ("ish" - Can't remember E's specific freqs off hand).
The RTA and its visual response will most definitely be drastically different. |
Now that I can appreciate. A corrective response. Thanks
I'll see what I can find in this regard. Sometimes, I'll do a batch analysis of an entire album to get the average frequency print of the whole album.
The word "ballpark" cant be stressed enough. If youre matching things exactly to another songs print, it will not be a correct mix/sound.
And again, I'll point out how using HarBal will quickly tell you how out of wack frequency wise your own mixing efforts are in comparison to successful commercial releases. Please....tell me why this is a bad idea.
Also, regarding timbre, if youre trying to match your acoustic folk song to a Metallica record or a Ravi Shankar track with a sitar in it.....you've got the wrong idea, lol.
Again, the word "ballpark".
