it's good to divide different track elements into frequency bands to ensure clean separation but when things get too narrow it starts to feel like picky eaters who can't stand when the food is touching on the plate. like to take dnb as one example i really hate how breaks have gotten so filtered over time to the point where all the crunch and splashy hats get squeezed into the tiniest box

while as an autistic person i don't really like the picky eater analogy, i do think things are definitely a little overproduced now. but it was that way in the 80s too, things go in cycles

oh goodness. i'm so sorry if i hurt yours or anyone else's feelings by that remark. i am also autistic, i wasn't trying to make any kind of allusions to that at all. thank you for pointing that out. i will not make that mistake again in the future.

A lot of people think you need to mix music until there are no lumps, but if you do that you'll whisk too much air into the music and lose that "fudgy" sound.
