hey mate my best advice to u .. is to Eq at your hears opinion ... then its just a mather of practice to get does clean mix .. and clean percursion .. for percursion is fundamental to work properly with the ENVELOPES to get clean percursion... then a EQ sinth the same ... is a mather of time .. u will get the point after some good hours in front if th speakers :=
i EQ everything with logic plugins .. and anwida EQ .. nothing else ..
the master part is diferent .. but the final EQ that come out from logic .. is pretty nice ..  take time and u will see

what i recomend you is to get the WAVES bundle, and open the Paz Analyzer.
this DX plug-in shows you where is each frequincy is.
open it on the master effect (volume) and then play each part solo and then add them together, you should maintain a streight line EQ exept the kick and basslines that are needed to be higher then the rest line of EQ.
goodluck.

While we're on the subject of eq... thought you guys might want to check out this chart I copied off of some website a while ago. It's pretty helpful.
50Hz
1. Increase to add more fullness to lowest frequency instruments like foot,
toms, and the bass.
2. Reduce to decrease the "boom" of the bass and will increase overtones and
the recognition of bass line in the mix. This is most often used on bass
lines in Rap and R&B.
__________
100Hz
Increase to add a harder bass sound to lowest frequency instruments.
Increase to add fullness to guitars, snare.
Increase to add warmth to piano and horns.
Reduce to remove boom on guitars & increase clarity.
__________
200Hz
1. Increase to add fullness to vocals.
2. Increase to add fullness to snare and guitar (harder sound).
3. Reduce to decrease muddiness of vocals or mid-range instruments.
4. Reduce to decrease gong sound of cymbals.
__________
400Hz
1. Increase to add clarity to bass lines especially when speakers are at low
volume.
2. Reduce to decrease "cardboard" sound of lower drums (foot and toms).
3. Reduce to decrease ambiance on cymbals.
__________
800Hz
1. Increase for clarity and "punch" of bass.
2. Reduce to remove "cheap" sound of guitars
__________
1.5KHz
1. Increase for "clarity" and "pluck" of bass.
2. Reduce to remove dullness of guitars.
__________
3KHz
1. Increase for more "pluck" of bass.
2. Increase for more attack of electric / acoustic guitar.
3. Increase for more attack on low piano parts.
4. Increase for more clarity / hardness on voice.
5. Reduce to increase breathy, soft sound on background vocals.
6. Reduce to disguise out-of-tune vocals / guitars
__________
5KHz
1. Increase for vocal presence.
2. Increase low frequency drum attack (foot/toms).
3. Increase for more "finger sound" on bass.
4. Increase attack of piano, acoustic guitar and brightness on guitars.
5. Reduce to make background parts more distant.
6. Reduce to soften "thin" guitar.
__________
7KHz
1. Increase to add attack on low frequency drums (more metallic sound).
2. Increase to add attack to percussion instruments.
3. Increase on dull singer.
4. Increase for more "finger sound" on acoustic bass.
5. Reduce to decrease "s" sound on singers.
6. Increase to add sharpness to synthesizers, rock guitars, acoustic guitar
and piano.
__________
10KHz
1. Increase to brighten vocals.
2. Increase for "light brightness" in acoustic guitar and piano.
3. Increase for hardness on cymbals.
4. Reduce to decrease "s" sound on singers.
__________
15KHz
1. Increase to brighten vocals (breath sound).
2. Increase to brighten cymbals, string instruments and flutes.
3. Increase to make sampled synthesizer sound more real.
To eq individual sounds, you only need a one or two ban eq usually.
Hope it works for you. |

I thought this would be the appropriate thread to mention the Ultrafunk EQ, it has a very high quality setting for each parametric parameter for those pesky resonant frequencies you may need to notch out or down.
keep it groovin!

hiya... just found this thread, some useful stuff here. Wanted to let you know two things
i) try paz analyser in RMS mode too, it's important not only to have peak levels all across the frequencies, but as I recently found out you need to maintain these across time, which can be seen in the RMS view. I've been using about 350ms as my response, and comparing with released tracks .. good luck ;-)
ii) the d&b scene article on eqing, which was fantastic, has disappeared off the internet in fact that whole website has gone. However, I took a copy of the tute before it went down and put it on my site here : http://www.andrewsden.net/EQtute.zip
(note u need to click on each of the pages in the folder not click the 'next' links)
If anyone knows the authors and they have a problem with this please get in touch with me, but I think based on the spirit of the article that they would be happy if it lived on to help future producers.
Cheers
Andrew |

the d&b scene article on eqing, which was fantastic,

Andrew, thanks a lot for your post. Fantastic is a very shy word to describe it. This article is really brilliant. I often see a lot of people here and at other foruns talking a lot about eq and compression; but they never have been able to draw such a nice and clever picture of how important those tools are for professional level of music production. I often doubt that they really understand the theory to put together with the practics, cause both are important:theory and practcal results. Even so, as the results are nice for the ears people use to believe them on blind mode. That leads people to make mistakes at their own works, once the theorist achieved a nice result for a particular problem and is now leading people to believe that s a general rule. When someone achieves nice results "blindly" only trusting the ears, it s not an absolute truth saying he has achieved the best results possible. Maybe, if he also new the theory and then trusted the ears, he d be gone really better in results.
This box concept is really a simple and realistic scenarium of what goes on during the mixing process.
I know a lot of people will say here that knew all the concepts behind this article, but I doubt anyone has ever transmitted this information in such a perfect way. In my opinion, when someone knows how to explain things so clearly like this author did, is because he REALLY knows what s going on and is able to create his own concept and explanation method. There are some guys that (although may achieve nice personal results) belong to their own world, and have such a difficult time to express themselves. It really makes me confuse between believing they really know the basics of what they talk about or they only repeat pre made sentences all together.
BTW, in the article the guy talks about compression articles to complement the eq tutorials. Do you have them as well or can you tell us where to find it??
Thanks a lot for your post...
Peace.. |
