Defeat Masking in your mixes! | Checking out Fuser by Mastering the Mix

- Masking in audio is like when a loud noise at a party makes it hard to hear your friend talking. The loud noise "masks" your friend's voice, so you can't hear it well. In audio, it's when one sound makes it tough to hear another sound that's happening at the same time or very close. So, just like at a noisy party, some sounds can hide or cover up other sounds in audio.
This is something we as engineers have to handle all the time when it comes to mixing and arrangement. What can we do to solve this?
In the Past, EQ was the answer, but with out automation, that eq move is constant, when really we only need to undo masking when two sources are playing at the same time and in the same frequency range.
Fuser by @Masteringthemixlondon will help identify masking conflicts in both the mids and sides of your sources! There's a lot more in this plug in so come check it out!

That's wonderful! Pls stay in touch!
Great song
So in other words this is a visual graph, sonogram, gate.
Gating does help with clarity. Thanks man, was always wondering what exactly they advertising 😭 but I understand
🍀👍 A very well done tutorial. But one thing must be clear to us: Due to our many or many years of mixing experience, we now have trained ears so that we can understand such subtleties, e.g. can be heard via headphones, especially since during such campaigns we concentrate fully on the action, the A/B comparison! But the "normal" people, the ordinary music consumers who listen to music in everyday life via streaming or other means, e.g. while jogging, cycling, on the tram or on the bus, these people don't hear such subtle differences (I don't mean completely failed mixes that rumble in the bass range, the upper frequencies are much too harsh, the vocals are much too quiet or too loud and so on, even untrained ears can hear that...). Conclusion: When it comes to the sensitive corrections mentioned at the beginning, including the addition of well-dosed (!) saturation, EQ, pre-delay, etc., we shouldn't lie to ourselves and stay grounded in the facts. Most “normal music listeners” don’t notice things like that at all. Be that as it may, for most of us it is a nice and extremely creative hobby and we want to make the most beautiful mixes possible - and that's a good thing 😉
That’s sweet! Feel free to reach out.
Very interesting plugin! Would this kind of be comparable to sidechaining in the Pro Eq and using dynamic mode?
Yes and no. you could recreate something like this with Pro-EQ, but Fuser automatically identifies if the conflicts are in your mids vs sides and only affects those regions and frequencies. Great little experiment to run though!
Hey! That's so cool! Feel free to reach out.
Is it better than Neutron 4?
YES IT IS! I am deleting my NEUTRON now! LOL!!!
Wht better trackspacer or fuser
I'll have to run some tests and find out!
