masking in audio production

Masking in audio production refers to the phenomenon where one sound, typically a louder one, obscures or diminishes the perception of another sound, usually a quieter one, in the mix. This can result in certain frequencies or elements being masked or hidden, affecting the overall clarity and balance of the audio production. Audio engineers use various techniques such as EQ adjustments, panning, and dynamic processing to reduce masking and improve the overall quality of the mix.
