11.1.2 Step 2: Setting the EQ and Dynamics
设置均衡器和动态器
After you have set the input gain, you can use your channel EQ to sculpt your source. The more bands
your EQ offers, the more control you will have, but you’ll also add more potential for improper gain sta-
ging, so use with caution. This is also true with compression.
To set the EQ, you will need to adjust both the channel and the main faders to 0.0 dB. (AKA “unity.”) This
is just for the purposes of dialing in the sound you want. You’ll dial in the mix next.
Often, when people are new to using an equalizer, they listen for what is missing from their source signal
and try to boost it in. But that’s not always the best solution. Sometimes removing the frequencies that
are drowning out the ones you want works best.
Dynamics processors can be difficult to work with at first, because they both reduce gain and amplify it.
Let’s take a look at a compressor for a moment. A compressor works by lowering the dynamic range—
and by extension, the gain—of a signal, but it also gives you a make-up gain control that allows you to get
some of that back. If you apply a lot of gain reduction to a signal, then boost it too far with the make-up
gain, your sound can get very unwieldy very fast. As with an EQ, only compress a signal as much as you
need to (unless you’re using it for a creative effect), and only gain it back up as far as you have to for it to
cut through yourmix.
在你设置了输入增益后，你可以使用你的通道
EQ
来打磨你的音源。你的
EQ
提供的频段越多，你的控制
力就越强，但你也会增加更多不适当的增益稳定的可能性，所以使用时要小心谨慎。在压缩方面也是如
此。
要设置
EQ
，你需要将通道和音量控制器都调整到
0.0dB

这只是为了调出你想要的声音。
接下来你将拨入混音。
通常情况下，当人们刚开始使用均衡器时，他们会聆听源信号中缺少的部分，并试图将其提高。但这并
不总是最好的解决办法。有时，去除淹没在你想要的频率中的频率效果最好。
动态处理器一开始可能很难操作，因为它们既能减少增益又能放大增益。让我们先看一下压缩器。压缩
器的工作原理是降低动态范围—也就是信号的增益，但它也给你一个补强的增益控制，使你能拿回一些
增益。如果你把大量的增益降低到一个信号上，然后用补充增益把它提升得太远，你的声音就会很快变
得非常不流畅。就像
EQ
一样，只有在你需要的时候才压缩信号（除非你用它来做创造性的效果），并
且只有在你需要的时候才回升它的增益，使它能够穿过你的混音。
