is the area of 8.4 khz a known area for problems? i recently had some 808 hi-hats loud in the mix. i had cut everything below 6 k so they were nothing but high end which sounded good in the specific mix. i also had them loud-above the mix a bit. the master sounded great on cd but the hi-hats jumped off the vinyl in a way the annoyed me. now, im de-essing bright hi-hats above 7khz or so but would like to watch out from overdoing it. that is why im asking about your 8.4khz remark. i will continue to de-ess but would love to know any specific hi-end frequencies that seem to cause the most problems. thanks for the tips. ive also been rolling off a bit at the top.
