Ive noticed that some tunes i have been running through a spectrum analyzer have a steep cut(lowpass) at around the 10-12k mark.
What is the reason for this? is this done during mixdown or is it when it is sent for professional master. This is more common in brostep tunes.

thanks

Youre listening to tunes that cut off at 12k?? do you rip your tracks from youtube?

why so low? the usual least is around 16-17k and higher?

What's already been said.

Thats explains it. Yes these reference tracks are off youtube. Does the high frequency get cut off because of mp3 conversion, or just merely youtube quality?

referencing from youtube rips LOL not only you are a thief, you are clearly also terrible at understanding basic audio physics.

given all this, going to go out on a sturdy limb and say you huff at producing and dj'ing. You should quit stealing and quit producing since you dont even have enough respect, for either the music or the effort that goes into producing it, to pay for tracks.

the 123 kidd. sickest drops from the top ropes.

It's down to simple data compression, to get a file size smaller you have to lose information somewhere. Not having to represent the higher frequencies means it takes up less room, loads quicker etc. This can either be a result of how data is compressed when it is uploaded to youtube or if the MP3 was severely compressed before.

I agree...Have some respect for the scene and the artists that keep it alive

OP actually bought said tracks on vinyl too guys...

No offense to the OP, because I was once a noob too, but usually publicly admitting that you steal what most people on these forums are trying to sell is literally asking to be viciously attacked. One day when you are no longer a noob, you will look back on what you said and laugh with the rest of us, but until that day comes, the community usually will never live this down.

With that being said, what you use to reference your own mixdown must be of the highest possible fidelity. Why? Because if not, you're using a degraded quality file to measure the worthiness of your mix. And at this point in the game that 128kpbs mp3 may sound better than WAV files of your own work, but HOPEFULLY one day that won't be the case. Just have to keep plowing at your ignorance, one tune at a time.

If I was in your shoes, I would buy maybe 3-5 varying tracks of different genres (hifi digital audio WAV, FLAC if possible) and use those as reference tracks.

in that case its just an instance of being a dummy. rip your vinyl to digital if you want to reference the track. Or stop looking at tunes through spectrum analyzers.. as if that's going to help you do anything

lol

prod forum doin it again

Thanks for the responses guys. Gonna go crawl into a hole and die now
