I was very impressed with your equalizer and reverb articles. You did a great job. They're very clear and easy to understand. – Ethan Winer

We wish that we had more control over our mixing process

At some point in time, anyone working with mixing or effects, feels that they’re unable to use their effects or sequencer to its fullest potential because they don’t understand the basics of how to use it.

If you wish you had a better understanding of your mixing process – here are a few resources for you.

If you wish to make your mixes sound better and professional sounding, here is an ebook that will help you.

Effective Equalizers

Effective Equalization is a downloadable e-book / report designed to help you know your equalizers better and make effective mixes. The download includes PDF (20 pages including cover, 442 kb) and the .mobi e-reader format.

I compiled an ebook on equalizers because Equalizers are one of the most powerful tools a sound engineer, musician or producer has at his or her disposal.

For example, vocal recordings with an SM58 mic basically needs

  • cut in the bass frequency region
  • modification in the mid area
  • some work with the hi mid frequencies for clarity and intelligibility
  • and raise in the higher frequencies to give it the 'air'.

How do we make these changes?

Equalizers allow us to modify, restructure and design sound by adjusting frequency responses. We can tweak individual sounds to make them sound better and tweak them to fit in the mix as a whole.

This ebook uses software equalizer plugins for explanation. But you can use the principles explained in this ebook on a hardware equalizer, software plugin equalizer effect, a guitar processor or any other equalizer effect interface.
