commercial mastering (yeah, I know...), and one of the conundrums
I've run into is that while most commercially produced music has a
particular sort of common EQ curve to it, I have to really force
myself to try to want that curve when I'm mixing. Really, it just
sounds cold. Almost anything sounds better (at least on good
speakers) with less cutting around 120-180Hz than most CD's seem to
have. And it really must be the result of EQ cuts too -- apart from
Mastering is also about getting a good sound on a lot of different
sound systems. My first guess would be that this frequency range could
be problematic on some frequently used (and often cheap) systems,
like car radios f.e.
