Originally posted by Von Pistol A buddy of mine (a sound engineer) was explaining some things regarding EQ for me and he said that when a freq is lowered on one side, the opposite happens to the other end. EX: if one lowers 100hz by 2 db then there will be a +2 increase on the high end I have no idea what,why, or how this is or happens and i cant not find any lit on it. can anyone explain this or link me an explanation? thx also: when EQ a track, lets say a clap or snare for a trance song, the snare pops around 800hz so i slam a high-pass on it to remove any lower than 600hz. Now i notice that there is hardly any high end near the 15-20khz showing on my EQ color response (dont know what its called but it shows where the frequencies are being played on the background of the EQ in diff colors, the weaker the freq the color fades), so should i just remove those frequencies completely or is it not worth it seeing as how there is barely anything? thx

Maybe you guys should sit down together again, more frequently, assuming he is actually a "sound engineer". Can't you clarify with him, wouldn't that be ideal? Maybe hang out a second, third, or fourth time until you fully grasp what he means instead of trying to grasp something he seemingly told you in passing.
