Why Your Mixes Sound Thin | Fletcher Munson Curve Explained

[@DetlefRecktenwald-Healing]

Thank you again. this will help me with my projects, true it's a bit confusing, but I picked up the base of it.

[@DistinctMastering]

Yes it can be but just understand that your perceiving sounds at different volumes is the main takeaway.

Thanks for the video. I dont have a treated room or a sub. I struggle with mix balance and rely heavily on visual aids. I try to get my mixes as close pink noise as possible, -3dB per octave. Should I be allowing for the F-Munson curve in the mix? Is this what the famound NS-10m did?

[@DistinctMastering]

I’d recommend using reference tracks.Also look into some room correction software.

[@Durkhead]

After you get ur pink noise match set, just boost the highs i like to boost around 10k just dont boost it higher than the bass

What SPL do you tend to mix at?
What SPL fo you think the average listener listens at home or with headphones? Average club SPL? Thanks.

I work pretty quiet when mixing. When producing I go a little louder. Here's a good chart you can review: www.sengpielaudio.com/TableOfSoundPressureLevels.htm

Someone needs to make a baby crying generator with a transpose knob.

😂

[@GANGBENGAL]

really well explained. TIL what a Phon is, which is kinda hilarious. I didn't know the unique perception of being human can be quantized

[@DistinctMastering]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@GANGBENGAL]

@@DistinctMastering the evolutionary part about the dip is fascinating too! Do you know any more info on that?

[@ivorycybernetics]

dosent mixing too quiet just as bad for your mixes....?

[@DistinctMastering]

It’s good to reference at different levels. Mixing quietly can tell you if something is too loud easily because it will be poking out.
