Jaycen Joshua shows how to use Mid-Side EQ with the Brainworx bx_digital to achieve better separation and a tighter low-end in a drum mix.
By reducing masking frequencies in the center channel, he creates space for the vocal, ensuring it sits comfortably in the mix. To help the drums maintain energy, he then adds some of these reduced frequencies back on the side channel. This effectively shifts energy from the center to the sides of the mix, creating a space for the vocal to thrive.
He also advocates using the Mono Maker feature to center all low-end frequencies below 61Hz, enhancing the overall clarity and punch of the track's low-end.
