You can also pinpoint the range by either making it really thin or thick .<br><br>I know that EQ is used to cut, reduce or heighten specific frequencies.<br><br>EQ is different for every instrument because things have different frequency ranges, e.g. in kick drum vs female vocals there&#8217;s a big difference.<br><br>EQ can reduce noise or buzz at frequencies if used carefully, for example if your snare drum isn&#8217;t set up correctly and its causing a buzz you can pin point the frequency the buzz is at and completely cut it from the mix.<br><br>I know the range of human hearing is 20hz to 20,000hz, which means the areas that I should be cautious of boosting are 18-20,000hz and anywhere from 20-50hz because a lot of people won&#8217;t be able to hear those. The mid-range frequencies are most impactful, like with snare and the kick impact, and some low vocals. I need to be careful not to go overboard with these in case they&#8217;re too loud in the overall song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DRUM MIX<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guy in the drum mix video advised to use a drum bus to do multiple things to the whole kit, like compression across everything to make it quicker and easier. This is favourable when working quickly and it might be something I try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also explained in length that balancing the kit was really important because if the kit isn&#8217;t balanced then the whole song will sound odd and I won&#8217;t be able to do EQ and compression accurately because ill be trying to balance stuff in these tools, which is less accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I already said this in the EQ research but he mentions EQ being used to cut out buzz, so this is something I will definitely be trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using EQ and compression on individual tracks is optional to the person that did the drum mix video, but what I&#8217;m used to is going through and fine tuning each bit, but I might start off with this in mind and use this in future drum mixes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Videos used: I have learnt how to pin point frequencies and make the range smaller or bigger.
