I have had some trouble with this....and have not yet found the solution:

I can create a proper track, decent in terms of programming, instruments, etc...

However, even after mastering (decent volume, no distortion)...it still sounds 'cold' compared to professional tracks. It lacks a certain something, a warmth...perhaps saturation...



Any ideas on this are more than welcome!

I kind of know what you mean. I always use the term "thick" instead of "warm", but I'm not sure it is any less ambiguous.

lack of midrange

Ive never heard of warm having anything to do with frequency range. you can have an extremely cold bass for instance. Despite that it fills ths spectrum.

Wrong thread. Fool.

but would probably have a bit of a dip in that 500-1500 range. And would also probably be pretty unsaturated. I know what you mean though. But I definately think it has to do with frequency ranges.

Palm: totally disagree, lack of midrange would make something cold.

The diffirence between a blurry and a sharp sound could also contribute to how warm or cold a sound is.

Hey, atleast we haven't brought "bright" and "dark" sounds into the mix yet :P

You could have a very warm dark sound, and a very bright cold sound, and vice versa.

there are too many ridiculous adjectives in music. "omg that sounds fat" "that sounds airy" "that sounds so apple man omg".

what i love the most is when magazines review monitors. "the bass is very tubby and there is a lot of tingle in the highs"... yeah shit that's super useful mang.
