My music lesson today was about improving the mix of imagination:

  • The kick could use more saturation
  • Tube amps add distortion/saturation
  • Distortion and saturation often refer to the same thing
  • Add limiter to everything
  • Sidechain everything else in the mix so the kick has more space
  • Make the Ping sound more spacious with reverb
  • On master, add stereo separation and lower mid-range frequencies
