#78: Home Studio Acoustics & Fixing Muddy Mixes | (PRODUCER KICKSTART: Erlea)

Welcome to the latest podcast episode where I sit down with special guest, Jonathan 'Erlea' Guzman, for a Producer Kickstart strategy session. In this episode, we're going to tackle some of the most common challenges faced by producers in their day-to-day work.

We start by delving into the dreaded "mud" that producers often struggle to identify in their tracks. I share some valuable tips and techniques for dealing with this producer's pain point.

Then we move onto the crucial topic of room acoustics, as we explore how to optimize your studio space to get the best possible sound.

Next up, we dive into low-frequency mixing and examine the importance of low and high cut frequencies. Jonathan shares some useful insights on how to make sure your mix sounds balanced and cohesive.

We also take a closer look at when to use mid/side EQ, and how this technique can help you create a more dynamic and interesting mix.

Finally, we wrap things up with a discussion on compression, covering the basics and sharing some tips on how to set a compressor for optimal results.

If you're a producer looking to level up your skills and overcome some of the most common challenges in the production process, then this episode is not to be missed!
