So, what are some ways you can create contrast in your productions and mixes? If your goal is for everything in the song to feel huge, then nothing will end up sounding impactful because you’ve lost all contrast. The best way to do that is to contrast it with something smaller, much like how a picture of a tree’s height can't be put into per-spective without a human standing next to it, the same is true for music and particular sections of a song.
