When I mix my own stuff and listen in the car or different systems and decide something needs to change "by a hair" - turning down is different than turning up. If it needs to come down, I'll turn it down - usually 2-4 dB. If I need to raise it, I usually mess with the top end eq as svart mentioned. Just find the frequency to help it pop out instead of raising the entire instrument. This is generally speaking of course. Sometimes I roll off high or low end to reduce it. Whatever works best. You know how it goes. I was thinking about this "turning up vs. turning down" idea when the guy came in for the revisions. One of his revisions was on his lead guitar solo. I opened up the EQ plugin I had inserted on his on his solo and sure enough I had cut 2 db around 2K because it was hurting my ears. As soon as I took off this cut he was happy. Of course, now I think his lead solo is a bit piercing, but he's the client and that's that. |
