Equalization techniques part 2
EQ Curves: Wide and Narrow Q, Curve Types In audio equalization, EQ curves play a crucial role in how frequencies are adjusted. These curves determine how boost or attenuation is…
Bell equalization technique
In this type of EQ, we have a factor called Q factor. The Q factor is going to determine the width or narrowness of the bell. If the Q of…
Shelving equalization technique
A shelving equalizer attenuates or boosts frequencies above or below a specific cutoff point. Shelving equalizers come in two different varieties: high pass and low pass. Low pass shelving filters…
Procedure to equalize a sound
Once we have assimilated the different parts and elements of an EQ, we can now start using them. Steps to start EQing: 1- First you must recognize what fundamental frequencies…
Graphic Equalizers: How and When to Use Them
Graphic equalizers are a fundamental tool in audio equalization, widely used in both recording studios and live sound environments. Their design and functionality make them especially useful for certain types…
Parametric Equalizers: Versatility and Accuracy
Parametric equalizers are extremely powerful audio processing tools, known for their versatility and accuracy. Unlike graphic equalizers, parametric equalizers offer detailed control over three key parameters: center frequency, gain and…
Shelving Equalizers: Practical Applications
Shelving equalizers are an essential tool in music production, known for their ability to adjust all frequencies above or below a specific cutoff point. This type of equalization is particularly…
How to use High Pass and Low Pass Filters: Removal of Unwanted Frequencies
High-pass and low-pass filters are essential tools in audio equalization, used primarily to remove unwanted frequencies and clean up the audio signal. These filters allow precise control over the frequency…
Corrective vs. Creative Equalization: Differences and When to Use Each
Equalization (EQ) is an essential tool in music production, used to adjust the balance of frequencies in an audio signal. However, equalization can be divided into two main approaches: corrective…
Corrective equalization
Before going into the technical aspects and procedures of equalization, we must first define the two main possible methods that an equalizer can perform. The first of the two is…
