Music Production Decision (In relation to playback systems)
At this point you are familiar with 3 most well known frequencies present in any EQ
➡️Bass (Low end)
➡️Mid (Balance/Midrange)
➡️Treble (High End)

✔️Before we continue, let's define a playback system:
It is known as any sound system that reproduces sound,or in simple words,a system we use to play our music on
E.g car stereo, headphones, monitors, stereo speakers, hi-fi system, cellphone speaker etc

✔️The thing is we have to bear in mind that instruments used in our song translates (play decently in any system chosen, but to make it easier you have to focus on 3 main elements before anything else:
✅Volume balance (again,if you nail this part then you've already done about 50%)
✅Sample choice (if your audio samples are great then the rest is super easy)
✅Pre Mixing Decisions (we've discussed them before so to get the idea, kindly go through our page) to ensure that every element is clearly defined and pleasing to listen to even before you start mixing

➡️Why do I have to know all of that?
Well it's easier to track problems in your song if you produce it step by step

🎯Bonus Tip:
Set timer for each production step:
♾️Guide:
➡️Mastering:15 mins
➡️Mixing: 1 hour (with breaks in between)
➡️Composition: 2-3 hours (with breaks in between)

26/11/2025

How I learnt compression mathematically:
Compression
Example:

Scenario:
✅Vocal peak = –6 dB

✔️Compressor settings:
✅Threshold = –12 dB
✅Ratio = 4:1
✅Attack = 10 ms
✅Release = 100 ms
✅Knee = soft (starts reducing 1.5 dB before threshold)
✅Makeup Gain = +3 dB

Calculation:
Step1️⃣: Determine Input Over Threshold
Vocal peak = –6 dB
Threshold = –12 dB
Difference: –6 – (–12) = 6 dB above threshold
Because the knee is soft, compression starts 1.5 dB before the threshold:
Effective difference = 6 + 1.5 = 7.5 dB

Step2️⃣– Apply Ratio
Ratio = 4:1 → divide the amount above the threshold by 4:

Gain Reduction=7.5÷4=1.875 dB
The compressor reduces 1.875 dB from the peak.

Output before makeup gain:
Threshold + allowed rise = –12 + 1.875 = –10.125 dB

3️⃣ Step 3 – Consider Attack
Attack = 10 ms → fast, so almost full gain reduction applies almost instantly.
For numerical purposes, we can approximate:
Peak is reduced to 1.875 dB at 10 ms.

Step 4️⃣ – Consider Release
Release = 100 ms → the compressor recovers after the signal drops:
Suppose the signal drops to –14 dB (2 dB below threshold)

Gain reduction recovers gradually: over 100 ms, the 1.875 dB reduction returns to 0 dB gain reduction

For math: at t = 50 ms → reduction ≈ 0.9375 dB
Step5️⃣ – Apply Makeup Gain

Makeup Gain = +3 dB
Output after gain: –10.125 + 3 = –7.125 dB

🟰Final Peak level: =7.125 dB

🎯I assure you,this is the fastest way you'll learn compression,if you happen to have different peak level, worry not,it applies anyway
Just find the peak volume, and the rest is pretty straight forward 😁

Lazy Man's Mixing Technique:

😜This is the easiest way you'll mix any song, even without a video tutorial

STEP1️⃣
➡️Listen to a pro released song that's in the same genre as you produce,even two to three
➡️And note down the instruments that you hear when you listen to it through your headphones/monitors
➡️Note them down starting from the loudest to quietest
➡️Mark the ones that are there in your song, ensure you only take 10 to 15mins

STEP2️⃣
➡️Now go to your song and start setting the balance of your mix to achieve that, remember if your volume balance can compete with the pro song, you've already won before adding anything else

STEP3️⃣
➡️Now filter out unnecessary frequencies from each instrument:

Guide:
✅Use high pass filter on non bass instruments to remove inaudible low frequencies and make space for kick and bass instruments
✅Use Low pass filter on Midrange instruments and lows to remove inaudible highs
Or use it to remove harsh high frequencies
✅Use bandpass filter on atmospheric instruments to all only certain frequencies to pass,e.g on strings and pads to only all certain frequency ranges (e.g Midrange,low mid, high mid or high end)

✔️At this point you're ready to use:
Compressor, EQ, Distortion (mainly saturation)
In your own way, but if you need any more information on how to proceed, kindly comment below, I'll be happy to share my knowledge

24/11/2025

➡️Muddy Mix and common reasons behind it:

1️⃣Too many instruments in one section
Sometimes the problem is not on your mixing skills, but too many fighting instruments at once, and trust me, it's hard to balance too many instruments,so try to remove some from that section

2️⃣Not making use of filters
There are 3 main filters to make use of during mixing
✅Low pass filter/high cut - remove inaudible highs from an instrument,e.g Kick drum
✅High pass filter/Low cut - remove all low frequencies from an instrument,e.g vocals or piano
✅Band pass filter - only allow certain frequencies to be audible and remove the rest,e.g on background vocals, you may choose to allow only upper mid range frequencies to pass to avoid clashing with main vocal

3️⃣Frequency Masking (check past posts for this one,or I'll leave the link In the comments section): when too much instruments share the same frequency range,they may muddy your mix,e.g 4 bass layers, layered kick, pad layers, multiple piano and guitars,too many vocal layers

4️⃣Lack of dynamic range
Once your instruments play at about the same volume level, the sound becomes flat, making it harder to know which instrument requires which effects,so ensure that you categorise your instruments into 3 parts, namely
✔️Main Elements (most audible)
✔️Support Elements (mid volume level)
✔️Atmospheric (very low volume level)

5️⃣Relying too much on effects:
Once your production depends on effects, that usually means two things:
➡️Your samples are of low quality and naturally lack clarity
➡️You don't compose with the end picture in mind, for example if you don't know what genre you plan to create, you'll throw in unnecessary instruments,so ensure every instrument you include has a purpose,if it doesn't,then remove it

Mixing as a broad concept
➡️Mixing is a process where you make all individual instruments of your song sound pleasing to the listener, the process goes by ensuring that each instrument has its own space in the song, but still works together to make a great song, think of sound production like this:
1️⃣Sound selection:40%
2️⃣Composition:30%
3️⃣Mixing:20%
4️⃣Mastering:10%

✔️Those are the steps that make a great song, never skip any of them, for example:
✅Without quality samples (e.g nice vocal recording or high quality kick drum samples/synths), your song will lose quality even before you start composing it, once you nail the first one, you'll be able to know how to make the sounds work together, for example:
✅How to sing to a piano chord progression or how to add bass to a kick, once the second one is done, now it will be easier to know what sits where in the mix, for example:
✅Kick and Bass occupy Low end
✅Bass guitar and marimba occupy low mid
✅Piano, guitar and vocals occupy both low mid and high mid
✅Cymbals, crash, white noise may occupy high end, even though white noise sounds the same throughout any octave

🎯Bonus Tip:
🤚🏻Before mixing, ensure that you categorised your instruments into 3 groups:
🟪Main elements (upfront and most audible)
🟣Supporting elements: (mid to low volume),they support what's already there on the song
💜Background/Atmospheric elements: Nearly inaudible but make a huge difference by creating a room/soundscape for the existing instruments
