Invert, always, invert
This is how I summarize my time in photography classes.- What’s in focus? (What’s out of focus?)- What’s in light? (What’s in shadow?)- Where is the light coming from? (Where is the light not coming from?)- What’s in the foreground? (What’s in the background?)- Positive space / negative spaceSimilar things end up happening in audio. You want to set up a microphone to record something, it’s usually better to point the microphone away from the noise that you don’t want, instead of towards the sound that you do want. When you’re EQing, you usually want to remove unwanted frequencies rather than boost wanted frequencies. Etc.
