I've been mixing groovy instrumental music, kind of in the vein of Bonobo or Gorillaz. Whenever I finish my mix, the higher tones like hi-hats, shakers and sometimes the brighter instruments like bells and chimes that have a lot of resonance tend to poke out. Especially noticeable when listening on car speakers. When I listen to similar reference tracks the higher tones always seem to be very present in the mix but don't sound sharp or shrill.

Is there any way bring out the highs without making them sound Sharp or too loud? Maybe some kind of specific filters or VSTs that can pull out the tones I'm looking for and resuce the harsher ones but without sounding like too much of a hard cut.

I always forget Tiny Tommy Lister played the president in Fifth Element until I watch it again. He basically looks the same as when played Debo on Friday as it was only 2 years apart release dates.

I'm getting a MSI Pro B850-S WIFI6E(Socket AM5) motherboard, and was curious about the ram pair. I have a local shop with a good deal on some DDR5 Corsair ram, but it is 6400 MT/s and when I look at the specs on MSI's website it says anything over 5600 MT/s will need to be overclocked.

Is overclocking easy for ram on this mobo? I've done bios updating and CPU overclocking a bit before, but only on PC's that were already working. I'm building this one from scratch, and was wondering how complicated it would be if I got ram outside of the recommended range. Can I even post to bios without ram installed on this mobo? Anyone who has experience with this mobo, or situation would be helpful.

MSI also says it hasn't been verified with Corsair or Crucial ram and recommends using something like Kingston. Is this something to be followed closely or more of a marketing move?
