RE: 🎛️ Music Production Talk: The Magic of EQ'ing
I have to agree. When I discovered the power of EQing it was a double edged sword - here was this amazing way to dramatically alter every track but at the same time you can easily over do it and end up with a mess!
As a vocalist it has taken me about a year to find the best settings for my voice and now I have a template with the EQ values preset so I can pretty much record and go. Sure I could spend a bit more time tweaking each song but as you say I can't expect to create the same product as a million dollar studio so I'm happy with the way it is!
I can't even tell you how many tracks I've botched up that way 😆. But they were valuable learning experiences so all is right. And yeah totally, I never 'blame my tools' so to speak, I think there is a lot we can do as independent producers. You can still get a phenomenal, yet modest, product with just know-how. But sometimes you just can't fake some of the gear they're running in there.
Indeed. I always find it hard to know if I have reached the limits of my equipment or the limits of my skills!
Haha I totally understand that feeling, sometimes it's a rather blurry line, ey? 😆
Yeah and a little frustrating as you try to eek out that last 5% and realise the next day that you've made it sound worse! :P
