    One shall not validate his mixdown using a spectrum analyzer!
    Except you're composing music for robots :winker:
    Does your mix sound good?

    Actually it's the first song that I used a spectrum analyzer. I don't use any EQ with spectrum analyzer either. But I don't have studio monitors and I can't trust my HD600 headphones 100% percent.

    By your topic title I thought someone goes into jail or some guy lost his house because of loan in bank... I thought it is something serious!
    Just curious, you are not able to put topic title like "Strange ghost freq at 10kHz in my mix, please help", and then put chunk of your mix in attachment (audio)?

    You're right. Why I didn't put a explaining topic I don't know actually. Sorry about that.

    And here is the audio example.

  7. If you go by the spectrum analyser's correlation meter, I would be more concerned with the phase cancellation than a fleeting moment of a slight 10k depression. After listening to it in a loop as I write this I don't hear anything glaringly awful. Personally, I would tilt everything over to the right a smidgen, as for my taste there could be a little more highs and a little less lows.

    It's literally clipping (turn down when you render), and sounds like it's been spliced together from 2 mp3s encoded at different, albeit low, bitrates (right at "splice here" marker in vid clip, @14sec in pic). What happens @ 10k is not too important n this case, it's mostly garbage up there anyway (vid show everything from 8kHz up loaded as a separate clip, normalized (to bring up the volume), and finally transposed 4 octaves down, to hear exactly what you're missing :)
    TL;DR: turn down & don't worry about the 10k notch.

    No worries...
    Listened your audio. You have got an answer already.
    You can always do a soloing of some channels, in this scenario guitars and pads so you can actually hear what's going on.
    I had similar situation with strings high patch inside Kontakt (with one library), simply when you play key A it's ok, then you play F# and it has some distorted sound and then in combination with double bass make chaos.
    Anyway, it sounds like pretty and nice melancholic Island song. It reminds me on Sigur Ros or so...
    Please when is done put links here on AudioZ to bandcamp or service where it will be provided.
