Can someone help me out ...I am new to this and I bought a few toys t fiddle with. But from what I am reading in differnt books is that ...Say the drums, base, vocals and Keyboards all have there sounds confined to a certain freq range. Kind of shelving frequencies so as not to step on what is going on around it.

I'm noticing that recordings I mix sound good (even instrument levels, nothing sticking out in a bad way, etc) on many different systems when the EQ is left flat, but as soon as I play with the EQ it creates massive changes to the sound, (ie. certain instruments go away or become overwhelming). EQ adjustments on commercial CD's don't seem to have this problem in general...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone on here has any recommendations on EQ settings on the AMEK 9098 and Gain and Threshold Settings on the LA-2A and either use compress or limit. Im not familiar with these units and there capablitys, I came from a home recording enviornment and was asked to engineer a friends album in a corporate studio.

hello there

don't know if this has been posted before. if so please redirect me!

my problem is that when i record a song and make a mixdown in logic, it sounds great on my speakers, but it is way too bassy and has too little hi end when compared to mastered CD's or when played on another system.

Oxford Dynamics and EQ.
Compared against anything UAD offers, which I have, are they worth 2 to 2.5X ? 550 for the EQ seems pretty pricey, especially with no demo for me to try AFAIK (gave all the demo's a once over about 6 months ago), same with dynamics. Then again I have a buttload of compressors available to me with UAD and 3 cards to spare, but only 3 EQ's.

Hello, I have a couple questions about Pro Tools 7.0, I recently bought a new Mbox 2 and also purchased the ilok usb plugins. Im totally new with Pro Tools. Ive never really had any experience with eq plugins and dynamics. Im trying to get a really good clean tight sound on the vocals and a solid sound out of the instruments I'm recording.

Greetings all! Can anyone point me to some basic info/reading material on how EQ "shelving" works and how to properly use it.

Thanks in advance. John F.

Hello All.

I am new to this board and somewhat new to running sound. I play in an acoustic trio and want to learn more about EQ.

Any suggestions on where I can read more how to use EQ "in the real world" would be helpful.

yeah
