MIXING TIPS VOL 2
5 short tips for mixing melodic house:
- Design contrast, not constant energy - Melodic house lives on tension vs release—let verses be lighter so drops feel earned, not just louder.
- Treat reverb as a rhythmic element - Time your reverbs to the groove (pre-delay + decay synced to tempo) so space moves with the track.
- Keep transients soft but intentional - Avoid sharp EDM-style attacks; gentle shaping keeps the sound warm, hypnotic, and non-fatiguing.
- Balance emotion in the midrange - The story lives between 500 Hz–3 kHz—leads, vocals, and chords should feel present without ever shouting.
- Check the mix at low volume often - If the melody, bass movement, and groove still read quietly, the mix will translate everywhere.
