casn someone explain me how to dissort vocals in hoodtrap but without loosing understability? As i think is the way to dissort the vocal is sending the bass and the vocal in one channel which has distorsion, but when i start adding other instruments to that channel, i feel that im destroying the whole mix

Everything in audio is contextual, so what is considered good or bad is often relative.

With that in mind, the issue may not be that distortion is ruining your mix, but rather a consequence of what distortion actually does. Distortion adds harmonic content—both odd and even harmonics—which can increase the density of a sound. When distortion is applied across many sources, those additional harmonics can begin to compete for the same frequency space, leading to frequency masking and a loss of clarity throughout the mix.

Instead of applying the same type of distortion everywhere, try varying the character and placement of the distortion. For example, you might focus vocal distortion in a frequency range that enhances its character while keeping it clear of the bass and other low-frequency elements. Likewise, if you're working with two heavily distorted sources, aim for complementary tones that occupy different areas of the spectrum rather than competing for the same space.

It's also worth experimenting with different types of distortion. Hard clipping, overdrive, fuzz, and saturation each generate harmonics differently and can serve very different purposes within a mix.

And, as with many aspects of mixing, sometimes less is more. A subtle amount of distortion applied intentionally can often have a greater impact than heavily distorting every element in the session.

I realize that this is a wordy answer but I hope it helps. Happy mixing!

Hey, I'm an independent artist from China, does anyone want to listen to my tracks or demos and see if we can create something huge together in the near future?
