Help me take the blanket off my tracks
I have struggled trying to get my tracks, and mixes, to not sound so muffled. Especially my guitar and vocal parts. I listen to CDs and songs I like and the guitars and vocals sound so airy and clear without being too bright or boomy. Oviously there is some art here that I have yet to learn.
If I try to boost the higher frequencies things always sound harsh. If I cut the mids or lows then it sounds weak. I would like some constructive critisism.
I have an audio file but am not sure how to post it here.
Thank you for your help.
