One of the best advice i received some time ago was to hi pass all instruments including, in some cases, even the bass and kick. Also you can trim off some of that super high frequencies on some digital instruments especially for warmer cleaner sound. Peace, Hi, nice info here.

You can use a variety of plug-ins to accomplish this job. Currently I am using Waves plug-in. You can read a sample demonstration here: http://www.audiorecording.me/waves-lineq-and-l2-ultramaximizer-make-your-masters-sound-loud-and-big.html In that post, someone ask me for help on how to strengthen the bass and overall mix. So I am using a EQ plug-in with some settings to do the job. Hope the information in that post would be useful to you. Hi Jeffrey,

I was curious if you could help me with my mixing. I do Hip Hop/Rap music and I record my vocals at my home while using Instrumentals I get from various producers. I'm new at mixing but I notice that different "Instrumentals" have various frequencies and i'm trying to find the best way to boost the bass. On some tracks the bass is low and when I try boosting it seems to peak. I wondered if you have and guidelines for "Frequency boosting or cutting" so i can make the bass in my tracks hit deep and hard.. I Hope this all made sense to you Thanks Hey Emerson,

You could get some tips here: http://www.audiorecording.me/how-to-mix-piano-keyboard-panning-eq-and-compression-techniques.html http://www.audiorecording.me/complete-eq-settings-to-start-when-doing-audio-mixing.html I would suggest you cut the rest of the instruments in the vocal frequency range to give way for the vocals to shine. What you have been experiencing is that the vocals have been masked by the piano. You can get some insights on how to deal with masking here: http://www.audiorecording.me/mixing-horns-trumpets-trombone-sax-eq-techniques-for-best-clarity.html Hi Elijah,
