I often hear this phrase tossed about, but I'm not sure I know what it means. I have never heard a recording and identified an element as not "sitting well in the mix." I can understand conflicts,-- two sounds in roughly the same frequency band that clash with eachother. In my week of eq-ing in Logic, I've learned to deal with this using subtractive eq; I sweep a notch filter over the frequency spectrum until I identify frequencies that have a dissonant beating in them- a result of sounds clashing in pitch- and invert the notch and attenuate the frequency. I can also understand flat eq over the hearing range, even if I have to fall back on SoundJam's spectral analyzer rather than trust my own ears. Is there more to "sitting well in a mix" than this? Has anybody ever been in the position I'm in, new to production eq and unsure of what's expected of them? Will I gain the ability to identify sounds not sitting well in the mix over time?
