I do this by using Audio Effect Racks and EQ8 in Live.

Live EQ by Note

This technique lets me bring out certain frequencies of a note, or even take them away. This can be a great way to make something that might not have a distinguished note, be interpreted as if it were a specific note.

I have gone through and used my List of Notes by Frequency and made an effect rack that can bring up all those frequencies at once. I then repeated this rack for each of the 12 notes.

I have included this collection of racks in the updated Mix Down Toolkit to help in production, but am also releasing it for free to members of the site.

This is but a fraction of the tools that can help you with mixing sound in the Mix Down Toolkit. Check it out, and order it if you want some slick and easy tools to level up your mix.
