There was another post that got me thinking, the one about "frequency conflict", after reading it i remember also hearing how different frequencies effect an overall sound. Mostly on this board we usually talk about muddiness and cancellation, but some of the videos ive seen and what not have hinted at something along the lines of, boost this frequency to make this completely different one make less of an impact, or using these frequencies will make this other frequency more pleasing.
Question is, does anyone have a more comprehensive article on the use of frequencies in mixing. things like the psychology of listeners and reactions to certain freq. or just anything else thatd be cool to know. There might be nothing i guess, but if people study sound for years in college, ud think there'd be more than just cancellation...

Mar 30, 2007 09:12 am Sounds like a good idea for an article...assuming you are talking about frequency harmonics and such, that being frequencies that affect each other up and down the spectrum...I can't think of an article at the moment, I am sure they are out there...

Mar 30, 2007 09:24 am Yeah, thats probably wat im gettin at, based on the fact my knowledge of the spectrum is barely a chip on the tip of the iceberg that is sound knowledge.
Mar 30, 2007 09:54 am Yeah, thats about where I stand too...I count on HarBal to know all that crap...

Mar 30, 2007 10:25 pm I wiki'd it, pretty interesting stuff. I side tracked into the auditory illusions section... trippy!
I'm thinking that "masking" might be a big issue for mixing? using one sound to mask properities in the other?
