What to do with a Muddy Guitar
- A muddy guitar only gets worse when matched with the full band. Low frequencies from various instruments overlap and cause clutter in the mix.
- The first step to fixing that muddy guitar is to use a high-pass filter. It removes low-end frequencies not essential to the guitar’s character.
- Just setting the high-pass filter to a standard position (e.g. 80 Hz) may not be enough. You may need to be bold in filtering higher frequencies to get your desired clarity.
- Cutting more of the low-mid frequencies can make the guitar stand out in the mix.
- Adjustments that might feel like the guitar sounds thin on it’s own can actually improve its fit in the mix when paired with the full band.
