Re: Cutting Frequencies?


+1 to what Chris said. The method in the video is a really good way to start learning about subtractive EQ. I could almost write a book on the subject but the bottom line is the more unwanted stuff you can pull out of your mix before you send it to be amplified the better. I will give you a couple of easy things you can do with your EQ to try out that method. On drums I like to just do a full all the way to the left cut and sweep the center frequency until it sounds the best. Try these frequencies to start with and see what sounds best: Kik drum 240hz, Toms 450hz, snare 400hz (although I usually only cut 3-5db). It is always going to depend on the system, room, and tuning of the kit but this will give you an idea.
