careful listening to know how much to cut and how much master gain to compensate with.
For midrange, I cheat a bit and boost it slightly in the frequency I wish to affect. I then lower the
high and low EQ till I achieve the midrange sound I am looking for. A little goes a long way.
Practice, practice, practice.
Watch out for the low end. Too much energy in the bottom octaves (below 300 Hz) will mask
the higher frequencies and cause you to want to add more highs. You'll end up chasing your tail
running after the perfect tone.
When it comes to using EQ, "Less is more".
