7 Easy Techniques For Getting Better EQ Results

1. Don’t Use It

Seriously.  Don’t touch it unless it’s totally necessary.  EQ is by far the most commonly abused plugin in a young producer’s arsenal.  Being one of the quickest ways to change your sound, it can also be the most dangerous.  It’s very tempting, when unhappy with a sound, to throw an EQ on it.  This fix it in the mix mentality can destroy a mix.
