Black Backdrop technique
View this Thread in Original format

Has anyone ever heard of this mixing technique? I was reading up on it in a magazine recently and it was saying most productions have a "grey backdrop" leaving certain sounds or frequencies inaudible in an otherwise good mix, whereas if you take preventative measures to leave your backdrop as black as possible, your mix will remain open.

I was wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about, and if they know how this is achieved?

It makes a lot of sense to me, but I'm not sure how one would go about it.

Maybe things like putting noise gates and filters on the channels? I know aliasing can be a problem, so to avoid that some people just put a highpass filter at 20-30 Hz and a lowpass at 18-20 kHz on every channel.
