Quick Summary:
In this episode, Frank breaks down one of the most common traps composers fall into: adding low-end layers to βfixβ a mix thatβs actually suffering from unclear writing. Youβll learn why most low-end issues start in the double basses, how proper orchestration creates natural sub-bass depth, and why layering a sine wave only works when the foundation is already solid. A simple mindset shift β music first, orchestration second, layers last β can transform the clarity and power of your cues.
