If you produce, engineer, or even write music, you have come across an EQ & you probably know how important this tool is to shaping the sound & tone of your music. Even if you’re not an engineer, having some good EQs in your collection will be useful.

When it comes to setting your levels for mastering, start with the loudest part of the song first.

This will let you get your levels in place & help avoid any surprise clipping or over limiting/compressing later on.

Need a little extra knock & punch to your drums? Parallel distortion can do the trick!

The following areas are ballpark numbers & you will have to search somewhere between these areas. Some vocals may have these same issues, but at even lower or higher frequencies; each vocal is different. You won’t always need to cut every area either. Some vocals may need a cut in a certain area while some are best left alone in another area.
