EQ Flashcards
What are the three main Types of EQs
-Parametric(mostly digital)
-Semi parametric(mostly analog)
-Graphic
What Frequency range is sub bass
20-60Hz

200-600
What Frequency range are mids
600Hz-3kHz
What Frequency range are upper mids
3kHz-8kHz
What Frequency range are highs
8kHz-20kHz
How do you call frequency range 20Hz-60Hz

What are the three main goals of EQing
Fix, Enhance, Balance
Name the three main Philosophies of EQing
EQ with purpose/intention (Have a goal like enhance, fix, balance)
Tiny moves matter (but still be bold if it fits )
Nothing is a rule, everything is a guideline
When using EQ to enhance, what is the very basic workflow (and why)
- Listen
- Describe how you hear the sound and what you want to change (using the cheat sheet)
- After deciding what to do pull up the EQ and do it
==>This makes sure you’ll EQ with purpose
Aside from the three major EQ types what special types are common
- Linear Phase (No phase modulation, less processing artifacts like ringing)
- Dynamic EQ (More a dynamic compressor, can be used to dynamically fix temporary issues or to multiband compress)
