Frequency Ranges 100 Hz – 2 KHz: Mixing engineers sometimes put EQ notches in different instruments to help make them stick through a thick mix. This is the frequency range where these notches occur. 120 Hz: This is the warm area of the mix, where guitar, bass, and toms all mix together. It’s generally good to leave this frequency alone, aside from removing some bass if it’s too boomy. 400 Hz: Frequencies in this area…

Understanding Equalization Equalization, or EQ, is a way of controlling frequency bands of audio. General Tips: 1 Hz cut The issue of DC offset seldom arises and can be removed by using a 1Hz high pass filter. 20 Hz cut Anything below 20Hz can be cut. The human ear can only hear down to about 20Hz so anything below that will simply cause speakers to do extra work. Using a high pass filter at 20Hz…
