eq question

Hi

I have a question about the Tweakheadz eq tutorial posted on the tutorial master list.

It says:
"To understand EQ is to understand limits. It is in it's essence an understanding that allows the whole (the song) to sound bigger by making the elements (the tracks) sound smaller, more narrow, and dare I say it in the world of phattness, thinner."

"'My mixes thound like thiit!' Well dude, no wonder. If you had taken control over your tracks with eq and made them smaller, not larger, we would not be having this discussion."

I'm just wondering, does this mean that if a particular element of the track is filling up the space between 200 and 500, you'd automatically try to narrow it down, OR do you only start sculpting away frequencies if you think it is overlapping with another track?

Also, does anyone have the hyperlink to the eq table which was posted on here a year or 2 ago?

Thanks!!

Short answer: It means you only want to start sculpting if you find it overlapping with another track.

Also, a sound doesn't just contain frequencies from 200 to 500 Hz, unless you're playing a pure sine wave between G3/196 Hz and B4/494 Hz. Derivative described this in more detail here: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...6&forumid=48&s=

Heh.

I'll keep it short and say what I've said before: EQ is a tool for balancing out the different elements in a mix. Do not use it to try to treat some particular sound in isolation.
