It is quite similar to Presence in its use, but the higher end of this frequency range is mostly hisses and noise. Boosting this frequency range can add to the clarity of the mix and/or specific sounds, but too much can be very tiresome to listen to.īrilliance/Noise ranges from 7kHz to 20kHz. Presence ranges from 4kHz to approximately 7kHz. It’s also the sweet spot of the punch of most percussion instruments (excluding kick drums). If you use a lot of lead synths, you will have a lot going on in this frequency range.

High Mids range from 1500Hz to approximately 4kHz. To avoid frequency clashes between these instruments, you ought to think twice about boosting this frequency range. These frequencies are responsible for the warmth and atmosphere of a sound, but it’s also one of those frequency ranges that plenty of different instruments deal in. Low Mids range from 250Hz to approximately 1500Hz. A lot of Bass may sound nice, but it can also completely overpower the rest of your mix. An appropriate amount of Sub Bass can give your track a boost in power, but too much will make your low end sound muddy and undefined.īass ranges from 60Hz to approximately 250Hz. Sub Bass ranges from 20Hz to approximately 60Hz. For this, we’ll divide this chapter into various sections. Now that you know what each button or parameter does, it’s time to dig deeper into how EQ should be used. A high ‘Q’ setting – such as 20.0 – results in a narrow bandwidth and a smaller range of frequencies affected. A low ‘Q’ setting – such as 0.83 – results in a wide bandwidth, which means it’s affecting a large range of frequencies. The ‘Q’ parameter allows you to control the range of frequencies that you alter. Q, however, is a little less self-explanatory. Whereas the ‘Frequency’ parameter allows you to set the frequency for each band, the ‘Gain/Slope’ parameter allows you to set either the slope of the filter (Bands 1 and 8) or the amount of gain (Bands 2-7). The first two, Frequency and Gain/Slope, speak for themselves. You are in full control of each band, as you can adjust several different parameters for each. This particular EQ consists of eight individual bands. As for the rest, we will explain how EQ works by focusing on Logic’s Channel EQ, which closely resembles FL Studio’s built-in Parametric EQ (and the native EQs of other DAWs). For all of you who’ve worked with a Parametric EQ before, feel free to skip this part.
