How to Use Equalisation
1. Ensure that the microphone placement is correct. Listen to the sound from the
microphones with no equalisation applied, and modify the microphone placement
until you get the sound you want
2. Set the operating level
3. Consider what you don’t want (for example, you don’t want too much bass on
an analogue tape machine). This varies with the recording format and varies with the
input signal. If necessary, use the high-pass filter to remove parts of the signal
4. Listen to the ambience and room sound that comes back off tape, and check that
it has the frequency response that you are looking for (for example, the room may be
a bit dull in the top end, or there may be too much bass). If the frequency response
is not correct, use the shelving filters to correct it
5. Create a sound and bring out the character of the voice by using the Eq. The table
below shows the important frequency ranges for the voice:
Presence 5 kHz
Sibilance 7.5 - 10 kHz
Boominess 200 - 240 Hz
Fullness 120 Hz
When to Use Equalisation
You can apply equalisation when recording or while mixing down a finished track.
You usually record flat (without equalisation) and then apply equalisation at
mixdown, unless you are assigning several instruments to a single track, in which
case you need to get the equalisation correct during recording.
Use equalisation to:
Remove unwanted noise, such as rumble, bass lift and hum (by using the Low Eq)
Reduce hiss (by using the High Eq)
Replace missing bass or treble (by using the Low or High Eq)
Reduce excessive bass or treble (by using the Low or High Eq)
Boost room ambience (by using the High Eq)
Improve tone quality (by using all the controls)
