Sometimes it\u2019s as simple as high-passing an instrument, while other cases require more precision. Either way, EQ is fundamental in making mix elements sound more or less defined, larger or smaller, or \u201cbetter\u201d versus \u201cdifferent.\u201d\u00a0Having a general reference on how to EQ common instruments is a good way to start!<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, trial-and-error experimentation (i.e., sweeping) will show you an instrument&#8217;s most offensive frequencies and their sweet spots . This is a wonderful method that\u2019s great for dissecting instruments and learning in which frequency bands they shine. For beginners, though, this may seem like a daunting task, and determining what sounds good and what doesn\u2019t can be ambiguous.<\/p>\n<p>Guidelines should never be taken as law, but they do provide starting points for your mixes. No two instruments, performances, or recordings are alike, which is why mileage may vary from mix to mix when referencing these suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>Always use your ears and trust your taste; a &#8220;how to EQ&#8221; handbook will get you started, but it\u2019s up to the engineer to make things work for that particular mix!<\/p>\n<p>The following information has been adapted from Bobby Owsinski\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/bobbyowsinski.com\/mixing-engineers-handbook\/\">Mixing Engineer\u2019s Handbook<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Each instrument has a range of frequencies in which terms like \u201cbottom,\u201d \u201ccrispness,\u201d etc. live; they\u2019ll be listed as starting points when you\u2019re trying to achieve a particular outcome with EQ.<\/p>\n<h3>How to EQ Common Instruments<\/h3>\n<h4>1.

For example, you may want to pull some \u201cboom\u201d around 240 Hz out of a vocal if it\u2019s clashing with the<a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/8-tips-for-amazing-low-end\/\"> low end<\/a>. Likewise, you may need to boost some presence around 5 kHz to make it stand out.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that this is a how to EQ <em>guideline<\/em>\u2013not a list of hard and fast rules. No two mixes, so sweep above and below the recommended frequencies to find what works best in your specific mix.<\/p>\n<p>Also, experiment with and<strong> listen to different octaves of suggested frequencies<\/strong>. If a floor tom\u2019s attack is somewhere around 5 kHz, see what\u2019s happening at 2.5 kHz. When a kick drum\u2019s hollowness is at approximately 400 Hz, listen to what\u2019s occurring at 200 or 800 Hz as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vKqB3lSbhIU\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"5 EQ Mistakes We Make While Mixing - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro\" title=\"Play video &quot;5 EQ Mistakes We Make While Mixing - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vKqB3lSbhIU<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vKqB3lSbhIU\" title=\"5 EQ Mistakes We Make While Mixing - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro\">5 EQ Mistakes We Make While Mixing &#8211; Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vKqB3lSbhIU)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s advisable to use a narrow bandwidth (Q) when cutting and a broader one when boosting. Boosting with a narrow Q has the potential to make a frequency stick out in an undesirable way. On the other hand, <em>cutting<\/em> with a narrow Q means we\u2019re pulling out a particularly offensive tone.<\/li>\n<li>Rolling off an element\u2019s bottom end will push it forward in the mix. Rolling off the top end will push it back.<\/li>\n<li>EQ for size when dealing with fewer instruments in a mix. When mixing a 4- or 5-piece rock band, for instance, every instrument should sound quite large.<\/li>\n<li>In a dense mix with many instruments, each one should sound much smaller. This will help them all fit together in an appropriate way.<\/li>\n<li>In the same way that boosting with a narrow Q will cause one frequency to jump out of a mix, boosting\u00a0<em>a lot\u00a0<\/em>of a single frequency will do the same. It\u2019s generally advised to boost a little bit of two similar frequencies than a lot of one.<\/li>\n<li>Perhaps\u00a0<strong>most importantly,\u00a0<\/strong><em>don\u2019t forget the context of your mix<\/em>. Making an instrument sound fantastic soloed doesn\u2019t guarantee that it will fit with the rest of the elements. In fact, you may find that even though it sounds wonderful by itself, it sits very poorly with the rest of the instruments.
