Xavier de Rosnay from Justice shares insights on using mid-focused monitoring to enhance mix balance.
By simulating a radio setup, this technique isolates the midrange, allowing for precise balancing between elements without the distractions of low and high frequencies. The filtering is achieved with a steep low cut at 150 Hz and a steep high cut around 1.5 kHz.
This approach helps avoid the misleading fullness that abundant low-end can create, ensuring a clear understanding of the musical content. The producer highlights this method as an effective, old trick for achieving faithful and consistent mixes.
