I'm fairly confident with my mixing abilties, but I hear in some commercial tracks a perceptively larger space for the sounds that the artist seems to have created. Sounds have more of their own 'separation' and are noticably - probably not the right word - 'fuller' in their own area.
Not to say I don't think my songs sound good, but I wonder how much of the additional space is achieved in mastering. I was reading the Digital Fish Endorphin manual and it says (I quote):
"It can be subtle with very little effect and coloration or really drastic when going into deep compression. You can make it breathe, pump and produce a nailed to the wall sound with much of loudness and saturation. But it can also be sonically transparent and add depth without actually sounding much compressed."
I don't really see how running a compressor over the whole track can add depth, I would have thought it removes dynamics and brings up the overall volume, unless depth is a psychoacoustic effect. Kinda counterintuitive that removing dynamics would add depth.
Could someone please explain this, or provide any 'extra-depth' tips? |
