Apply cut between 5KHZ and 6KHz to dull down some parts in a mix. Apply boost at around 6KHz to add some definition to vocal parts and distorted guitars.Ĭut: Apply cut at about 3KHz to remove the hard edge of piercing vocals. 3-6KHzīoost: For a more ‘plucked’ sounding bass part. 1-4KHzīoost: can add presence, bringing a track forward adding definition, but if pushed too far it can introduce a nasal, honking quality. General: This frequency range is often used to make instruments stand out in a mix. Applying boost between 1KHz and 5KHz will also make guitars and basslines more cutting.Ĭut: Apply cut between 2KHz and 3KHz to smooth a harsh sounding vocal part. 1-3KHzīoost: To make a piano more aggressive. At 1KHz apply boost to add a knock to a bass drum. 800Hz-1KHzīoost: To thicken vocal tracks. General: In can be worthwhile applying cut to some of the instruments in the mix to bring more clarity to the bass within the overall mix. 400-800Hzīoost or Cut: To control bass clarity, or to thicken or thin guitar sounds. General: While boost can add warmth to a track, like a thin vocal track, but may also introduce unwanted muddiness. This can result in a net ‘cut of the bass frequencies.īoost: To add warmth to vocals or to thicken a guitar sound.Ĭut: To bring more clarity to vocals or to thin cymbals and higher frequency percussion.īoost or Cut: to control the ‘woody’ sound of a snare. Low frequency sounds are particularly vulnerable to phase cancellation between sounds of similar frequency. General: Be wary of boosting the bass of too many tracks. This should reduce the effect of any microphone ‘pops’. 50Hzīoost: To thicken up bass drums and sub-bass parts.Ĭut: Below this frequency on all vocal tracks. 40-100Hzīoost: Add the bottom “boom” common in modern kick, bass line, and tom sounds. For example, at 40, you may find that you are able to hear between 30 Hz and 15 kHz. For most upper frequency loss tends to be more noticeably reduced. This range decreases as you age, just how much depends on the individual. It should be noted that a young person will be able to hear in the range 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So, strangely, a cut of one frequency can sound like a boost of another. For example, for a lead vocal, a number of narrow midrange cuts may be needed to manage the tone and reduce undesirable resonance.Ĭutting one frequency alters the harmonic balance of a sound and can give the impression that adjacent frequencies have been boosted. Using a narrow Q (bandwidth) often gets better results with a parametric subtractive EQ.
