The last thing you want is for your listeners to turn off your music because the mix sounds harsh.
Humans are particularly sensitive to the frequencies covered by speech. If we hear an excessively powerful sound in this frequency range, it can unpleasantly hit the eardrums. Harshness in music is introduced when this range is boosted disproportionately to the rest of a mix.
If you want to create mixes that sound bright and clear without being harsh then this post is for you. In this video, we’ll discuss what causes harsh mixes, how to know when your mix sounds harsh, what accentuates harshness and how to fix harshness.
