Hi everyone, I have a question about synths (or mix in general), specifically for producing melodic house. I'm hoping someone can share some helpful references. I'm really into the melodic house sound—think labels like Colorize, Anjunadeep and This Never Happened. One thing I’ve noticed is that the lead/arpeggio and pad synths in these tracks sound incredibly clean, especially in the high end. There’s a smoothness and control to the top frequencies. When I follow along with tutorials, the sounds often have a much brighter high end. Even when my mix sounds solid overall, it still ends up feeling a bit too bright compared to my reference tracks. Is it about EQing the high end (shelf or high cut) or something else?
