🎛️ EQ for Dummies – Quick Guide

✅ What is EQ?
EQ (equalization) shapes audio by boosting or cutting frequencies to make instruments and vocals sound clear and balanced.

✅ Simple Method:

1. High-Pass Filter – Cut lows (80–200 Hz) to remove rumble.

2. Sweep & Destroy – Boost a frequency band, sweep to find harsh or muddy tones, then cut them.

3. Prefer Cuts Over Boosts – Cuts clean up your mix without adding noise.

4. Adjust Q (Bandwidth) – Narrow Q for precise cuts; wide Q for tonal shaping.

5. Fix Feedback First – Use graphic EQ for feedback, then parametric EQ for tone.

💡 Tip: Every voice or instrument is different – EQ them individually for the best sound.
