Muddyness In Your Track?

Hi People!

I recently joined this community and I've learned alot already. I've read the moneyshot thread and it's amazing.

Soo I basically used it for my mixdown. So I tested my track in the club, but it sounded muddy in the low freqeancies, and a litte in the high to..

Is muddyness a sign of over compression? Because I used the Saussage Fattener from Dada Life on the master!

Muddyness occurs because you have too many of the same or similar frequencies in the track.
The same infrequence fight for space.

Hi, I've recently written a tutorial on EQ there's a couple of pointers on how to clear up a mix if it sounds a lil 'muddy'

^ This! It's too strong to use as a mastering plugin. You can give a small ammount to give some character to your track but make sure it's just a little and you still have another compressor and limiter to give the loudness.

Check if your kick and sub aren't hitting too close together on the frequency spectrum (highpass your kick, lowpass your sub). I like to highpass my kick pretty high (from 80 to 100 hz depending on the kick's character) and then I like to lowpass my sub starting around 10 to 20 hz below that, to leave some space in between them for the mix to sort of "breath" I guess.

I would also recommend highpassing your snares and hats unless it's absolutely necessary that they have a bottom end - they can be a big source of muddiness too.

Get rid of the mud range, it's in the low part of your mid range.

Yeah that's true, But I use iZotope5 To give loudness to my track. But it's still a risky thing ..

Yes, I am cutting everything away wat is unnecessary frequencies.
