5. EQ and filtering Flashcards
1
Q
what does eq allow you to do
A
it allows you to increase/decrease the volume of selected frequencies
2
Q
why use EQ
A
- to correct a badly recorded sound
- to add clarity/crispness
- to create separation in the mix
- to avoid clashing
- for musical effect
3
Q
3 types of EQ
A
- high/low cuts/passes
- shelves
- parametrics
4
Q
cuts/passes are used to cut frequencies at…
A
either end of the spectrum
5
Q
shelves affect what?
A
affects the level of an entire low or high frequency range
6
Q
parametrics affect…
A
very specific frequencies
7
Q
Give examples of EQ parameters
A
gain, cutoff frequency, resonance, slope
8
Q
what is gain
A
it sets the gain amount for the selected band
9
Q
what is frequency
A
adjusts the center frequency range for each selected band
10
Q
what is resonance
A
adjusts the bandwidth of selected band
11
Q
what is the slope
A
the steepness of the filter
