hey all...


I have a song that gets real busy toward the end and it sounds all mushy... the top end doesn't cut through - there's a lot of sounds competing for space...

I read that some ppl take each track and hi and lo-pass it to center kind of a bell curve on just the audible frequencies for the track....

is that worth the time and effort? (I would have to do it offline since VST doesn't have shelf EQ)

I realize that I will need to do more EQ while all the tracks are playing together to really solve all my problems, but I was wondering if any of you routinely did that kind of shelving EQ to help out, or as a starting point.....


also, would I lose anything by doing that? I always hear that those upper inaudible frequencies add to a mix, so am I going to lose something there? or will some of those freq's be replaced by decaying reverb?


any EQ tips/advice appreciated....
thanks!!

maybe I could use that if I could figure out ratio realease and attack on the ME compressor. It has in, out and gain on the curve and gain on the eq-band graph?
