EDM mixes fail for one reason more than any other: the sub-bass and kick are fighting, and nobody noticed until the track hit a festival system. MixDiagnose checks sub-bass-to-kick balance, stereo width integrity, and streaming loudness — and tells you in plain English what to fix before you bounce a master.
30–80 Hz: The heart of every drop. Sub-bass and kick fundamental live here. If they overlap without sidechain separation, they cancel — the drop feels empty even when it's clipping on the meter. We measure energy distribution here and flag overlap.
80–200 Hz: The body of the kick and warmth of the bass. Too much and it sounds boomy on headphones; too little and it feels thin on a big rig. We check if your low-end weight is in the EDM reference range or spilling into mud.
200–800 Hz: Where layered synths stack up. Three saws, a pad, and a pluck all competing here is the #1 cause of a muddy midsection. We detect masking between elements and tell you which frequencies are colliding.
8–16 kHz: The sparkle zone — hats, rides, white-noise sweeps. Overdoing it causes ear fatigue after two minutes. We measure your high-frequency tilt so you know if you're shimmering or harsh.
Sidechain too shallow or mistimed: If your kick isn't ducking the sub-bass by 3–5 dB at the right moment, the transient gets swallowed. We detect insufficient ducking and show the gap between kick and bass energy at impact.
Widening everything below 100 Hz: Stereo sub-bass phase-cancels on mono systems. We flag low-frequency content that collapses when summed to mono, so your drop doesn't disappear on a single-speaker setup.
Crushing to -6 LUFS for every platform: Spotify normalizes to -14, Apple Music to -16. A master at -6 gets turned down — limiter artifacts included. We measure integrated LUFS, true-peak, and crest factor so you target the right level per platform.
Layered leads masking each other: Five synth layers in the same octave create a wall of mud. We identify which frequency bands are overcrowded and which layers are fighting for the same space.
Every finding comes with a plain-English explanation: "Your sub-bass at 50 Hz is 6 dB above the kick — the ducking isn't enough." Not a spectrogram you have to interpret.
