How to create depth in mixing with high level EQ:
Here’s a little psychoacoustic hack that helps when you’re going for depth in your mix, but first let me ask you a question.
Imagine you’re walking to a rave in a field, whats the first frequency range you can hear?
Yes, it’s normally the low end!
This is because bass frequencies are longer, therefore travelling the furthest. So, keep this in mind when you’re mixing.
Naturally, our ears think higher frequencies are closer. This means that if you want to put your backing vocals further back in the mix, just remove some of the higher frequencies.
