y’s Studio delivers practical information on mixing, recording, equipment, plug-ins, and DTM, with a focus on “sounds you want to hear again.” At

If you want to brighten the treble but it stings your ears, fixing it with EQ alone tends to cause other problems. Sort the causes in the following order: recording, sibilance, compressor, reverberation, and working volume.

Even if I strengthen the de-esser, sibilance remains, and only the voice becomes darker. In such cases, we will explain the detection band, processing order, two-stage processing, and measures to take before reverberation.

We will explain the causes of the sound becoming harder and flatter as the sound pressure increases, in terms of the roles of the low range, peak processing, high range, and limiter. We aim to create sounds that make you want to listen to more than just the numbers.

I want to keep my voice even, but it goes back, and only the consonants hurt. We will review attack, release, detection band, and gain reduction in order and organize how to bring them forward naturally.

Kick and bass overlap, only the bass is loud but there is no core. We will explain the steps to check the arrangement, length, phase, harmonics, and monitoring environment before cutting down the EQ.

If your voice does not become brighter even after adding high frequencies with EQ, the cause may be in the recording stage. Review microphone distance, angle, reflections, and input level in a safe order.

If you choose only based on price or standard, it may not suit your ears and you may make a wrong decision. We will explain how to choose headphones for production, including sealing/opening, fit, replacement parts, and driving force.

I want to make it brighter, but it stings, and I want to remove it, but it becomes thinner. Before boosting the high frequencies, we will explain how to adjust unnecessary midrange, sibilance, overtones, and volume balance.

If you buy only based on sale price or reputation, you will end up not using more plugins. We will summarize the criteria for selection, including trial versions, CPU load, latency, authentication, and update costs.

We'll explain how to check not only the price or famous manufacturer, but also the number of people recording, input/output, headphone jack, loopback, driver, and included software.

A microphone that fits the room and your voice is more important than an expensive microphone. Choose sensitivity, directivity, proximity effect, ambient noise, and even audio interface.

For each type of noise, check the cable, power supply, gain, USB, PC load, and environmental sound in order. This is a diagnostic procedure before replacing equipment.

We will compare one-time purchases and subscriptions, taking into account not only the low monthly price, but also the number of books used, renewal fees, handling after cancellation, collaborative production, and OS compatibility.

The reason why the voice goes deeper when reverberation is added will be sorted out from pre-delay, early reflections, high range, low range, ducking, and send amount.

The higher the sound pressure, the more the high range hits, the bass gets crushed, and the depth disappears. Review the peak, low range, sibilance, clip, and comparison volume before the limiter.

There is a lot of bass, the localization is off, and the sound is different between the left and right sides. Before purchasing new speakers, we will explain how to adjust distance, height, wall and desk reflections, symmetry, and volume.

Singing or guitar monitoring is delayed, or MIDI keys are difficult to play. Check buffers, plugin delays, drivers, and sample rates in a safe order.

For those who are new to music production, we will explain what you can do with DTM, what you need, the difference between recording and MIDI, and the process to complete a song.

We will explain the roles of computers, DAWs, headphones, audio interfaces, microphones, and MIDI keyboards, and the order in which you should buy them first.
