When it comes to the production of music and ensuring that the track that is being recorded is up to the expectations of those who will listen to it, one of the most important aspects is ensuring that the EQ has been dialed in. Although some may have trouble with this portion, there are various sets of EQ settings that can one try to see which is best for their given song and produce the best results.

Key Takeaways:

• At 200Hz, too much can make a track sound muddy, while not enough can leave the track feeling thin.
• You want to be careful not to overdo 800Hz, as it will imbue your track with a cheap stereo sound.
• 1k-1.5kHz can lead to a very nasal sounding recording if it’s overdone.

“These are areas where too much or too little can cause your track to either stick out like a sore thumb, or disappear into the mix completely.”

ADAM Audio created their series T5V and T7V monitors to be studio-grade, no doubt expecting to provide something suitable for DJs and musicians, but also with the intent of creating something highly acceptable to professional sound designers and recording engineers as well.
These monitors offer a wide frequency response, low distortion and a high degree of precision, all at a reasonable cost. A tweeter that fights aural fatigue and the capacity to accommodate a 5-7 inch woofer are just two features of the series. What’s more important is that ADAM has just released the news that these affordable, professional-grade monitors are to be available all across the globe.

Key Takeaways:

• ADAM Audio’s professional grade monitors, the T5V and the T7V, are now available for purchase worldwide.
• Both monitors have the ability to accommodate a five or a seven inch woofer.
• A technologically advanced U-ART tweeter helps prevent aural fatigue during long studio sessions.

“Thanks to their wide sweet-spot and compact footprint, both studio monitors are outstandingly suited to smaller production spaces in the music, audio post and broadcast industries.”

Being close to the end of the production process on a track and then figuring out that the end result is somewhat thin can be discouraging. Luckily, there are many ways that you can address the thinness in order to give the track more vibrancy. A good way to improve it is it to add saturation to the piece. When the instrumentation has more saturation it gives it more vibrancy, and also a bit of edge. Another great way to do this is to add compression, or to work on the sound balance in order to just even things out a bit more.

Key Takeaways:

• Adding saturation to your track is a great way to make it sound more edgy and colorful.
• Maintaining proper sound balance is also a way to ensure that your piece does not sound too thin overall.
• Adjusting lower mids is also a way to ensure that your sound clarity is on point.

“Wherein a muddy mix there is simply too much overlapping sound, a thin mix is one where the sonics are under-represented.”
