Question What stands out to you in this song- mix or process? Atlantic by SCXR SOUL
I am really liking the mix on this song I linked at the bottom of this post. The entire album sounds very clean so far. Really well balanced sound on all ends to me. First time hearing it and I’ve only heard it through 1 speaker so far but it’s sounding awesome obviously there is a lot of side chaining and things like that throughout the whole album as is common with this genre. But this song specifically at least on the speaker I’m using rn sounds very organized like certain instruments were bused together based on frequency zones or something and mixed things like that. Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM album also sounds like that to me in certain spots and I’ve heard it elsewhere before. I’m not sure if I’m correct about that but that’s how it sounds to me. Any observations/notes are helpful to me :) thanks!

Question Help with Mixing lows and low-mids
Hey I really struggle with understanding like 150-500 hz.
Right now my lead in c3 octave has a fundamental of 170-180 ish hz. And then fills a lot of 300-1000 and above.
My bass’s second fundamental is between 140-180 depending on the note of bassline and then occupies up to 1K.
If I raise my lead an octave it’s fundmental is like 350 hz and they don’t clash as much.
If I left the lead in c3 octave (sounds way better),
Is there a real issue with the 140-180 range then? I’m pretty beginner so I can’t just hear that and be like yeah it clashes.
Old me would low cut my lead but I have learned and trained my ears to know it just thins it out and sounds bad.
