Balancing vocals and instruments in a live setting can be tricky. I’ve recently been experimenting with using a high-pass filter on everything but the kick and bass, and it’s made a huge difference in clarity. I’m curious what techniques you all use to avoid muddiness during gigs.
I totally get the struggle — balancing everything is a real headache at times! I’ve found that using a dynamic EQ can help a lot in carving out space for vocals, especially when they start to clash with the guitars. It’s surprising how much a little fine-tuning can help clear the mix.
I’ve had some success using a notch filter on specific problem frequencies to clear up that muddiness. It’s like giving your mix a little diet — less clutter, more focus! Have you tried it, @oliver6894?
