What do I do, when the sounds in the mid- frequency range are muddy? It is the ak. guitar or the vocal.

Turn them down  Reply with quote  

Low Mids can be muddy.... high mids are sharp....

Turn down the lows.... if there is no bass content in the source remove that too.

Eq Techniques  Reply with quote  

Good use of eq at correct frequencies:

Vocals

LF: - 2.0 dB at 187 Hz with Low Shelf Response
LMF: 0.0 dB at 265 Hz with 1.0 Q
HMF: + 3.5 dB at 2.99 kHz with 1.0 Q
HF: + 4.0 dB at 12.6 kHz with High Shelf Response

Why: The LF Cut and HF Boost makes the vocal cut through the track and have a breathy, close sound. The HMF boost adds projection to the vocal. This EQ, unlike the stock library parameters, carefully avoids the 7.0 kHz range that accents vocal S sounds.

Further Changes: If the vocal becomes too thin, a 1-3 dB boost of the LMF (at the indicated frequency) will restore body. The HMF frequency can be varied towards 5.0 kHz to increase distinction between guitars and vocal.

Hey

I cut from 400 hz. in the vocals and the sound is just fantastico. Thanks for the tips. I realy thing the muddy sound came from the room, (my living room).

The sound is the silver.
