How EQ Shapes the Loudness of Your Mix

What if your mix isn’t quiet… it’s just not balanced? In this episode, we’re exploring how EQ choices directly affect the perceived loudness of your mix. We're not talking about boosting everything for the sake of volume — we’re looking at how different tonal balances (low-heavy and mid-heavy) change how your mix feels. Using the same example from earlier in the series, we walk through three different EQ curves for the same track and show how each one shapes the energy, punch, and clarity of the mix. The goal isn’t to say which one is “right” — it’s to help you train your ear to hear the differences, so you can make more confident mix decisions and communicate better with clients. If you've ever had a client say “it just doesn’t sound as loud as [reference track]” — this will help you understand why, and how to respond. 🎧 This is Part 2 of our 4-part Loudness Series: 1.
