I cannot seem to get my head around how masking can make something out of nothing. When I solo some of my tracks, they are a trainwreck, yet they can sit in the mix perfectly, and the flaws (sometimes major) are entirely concealed.

Hello everyone. I'm currently working on a lot of mixes using both mic'd tracks and MIDI...It's mostly a rock style of music and a little bit more dominant in the lower end frequencies. Im looking for any advice or info on how to space out instruments in the frequency range to avoid masking and get the most of out the lower end.

I've been learning about pre-masking and post-masking lately, and I can't figure out how these pyschoacoustic phenominon affect limiting in the mastering chain.

Hopefully someone can tell me why Steinberg does not give support to its registered users.They just don't give a sh.. .I asked several times for help giving them my serialnumber and e-mail but no answer.Anyway, my midi event masking function does not work and I do not know why. All the software is legit and registered.Please help?
