Keep warm mixes warm and bright mixes bright while still correcting what actually breaks translation.
How to preserve tonal character while fixing translation
Main visual
Show that the mix can be fixed without flipping its flavor.
Detail visual
Use a warm example to show the guardrail.
Short clip
Animate the before/after without the tone flipping.
The failure mode to avoid
The wrong corrective chain can 'fix' a warm mix by making it bright, or 'fix' a bright mix by dulling it. That may score better on paper, but it makes the result feel like a different song.
The goal is to preserve flavor while correcting translation problems.
What the app should do instead
Move only as much as the problem requires.
Prefer targeted fixes over broad ones.
Back off moves that would flip the source from warm to bright or bright to warm.
