Vocals: Maybe it's because the vocals are so important in a song, but this is where the Insigna
shines.
The possibilities are vast on how to EQ a vocal. The Insigna's filters will tidy up the low end mess.
You can add a lot of body on a vocal with the low band, making it sound nice, full and intimate.
The mid frequency band will allow you to make the vocal cut through the mix with extreme clarity and
the high band can do wonders when it come to putting air around the vocal.
With some creative tweaking this EQ can bring lifeless vocal recordings back from the dead.
Keys, Brass etc.: We are living in a world where, at some stage, we'll have to deal with a plethora of
programmed, in the box keyboards, strings pads, synths and brass sections.
This EQ will give you the power to creatively alter these sounds and make them sound more unique
than just some template DAW sounds.
Even the real deal instruments can be turned into exciting song components when you push the
Insigna to its limits.
Try boosting more than you normally would on bland key or synth sounds and let the tube create
some second harmonic distortion for you.
Maybe that Hammond isn't growling enough or the Rhodes isn't quite as gnarly as it could be. Drive
that tube circuit. See and hear what happens.
And don't forget to use the EQ on some horns. If you're looking for more barking from a sax or you
want that trumpet solo to soar, you're reaching for the right unit.
Before we get into the geek speak, I can only tell you that there are no rules to EQ. If it sounds good,
do it!
Now get back to work, be creative and have fun with your new EQ.
Enjoy the fat, analogue and rich tube colour the Cranesong Insigna brings to the digital recording
world.
