How To EQ

 


AM Studios – EQ Tutorial

Welcome to this EQ tutorial were I will be going over one of the most powerful tools in any DAW! This tutorial is all about the parametric EQ, how to use it and all its features.

In this tutorial, I’ll be showing you typically where frequencies for common Trance sounds sit in the frequency spectrum, and how to effectively use the EQ to help the sounds sit better in the mix. I will be showing you how to EQ sounds such as a Kick, Bass, Sub, Pad, Pluck & Percussion loop.

We will also be looking at sounds that sit in the same frequency range, and best practices to make them fit together nicely through the use of Mid-Side EQ and other EQ techniques.

I will be going into great detail about all the different types of EQ bands, Slopes, Q’s and when certain bands would be used in different scenarios.

I’ll also be showing you how to add certain characteristics to sounds through the use of the AM Studios – Frequency Chart (Included With Purchase) 

 

I will also be letting you know my most used technique to allow space for your low-end frequencies such as your kick drum to punch through!

EQ tutorial

This tutorial was bought as an add on to the full trance tutorial that I purchased. As with all of Allans tutorials they are full of excellent information that is clear and easy to understand. I now have a much better understanding of EQing. I highly recommend any of Allans tutorials as they have helped me to progress to a much better level of production in such a sort space of time. I started as a complete beginner and have managed to produce a track that I’m quite happy with for someone at my level and it’s all thanks to these tutorials 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thank you Allan you’re a legend!
