EQ after

[Nick The Man]

how do you set up a EQ after tracking with a PC based setup. (using it to remove frequencies you dont want)

[Johnny Blaze]

I'm not a pro, but from what I have learned, you put it right before your monitors. Sort of like a mastering processor. Or do you mean on the tracks themselves? Or what. It helps to be a bit more specific, probably list out what you are using, etc. Mhmm.

yeah i want to get rid of certain frequencies on the tracks (and make sure it stays that way) i dont own a EQ yet

[Jburn34]

What software are you using?

[Nick The Man]

pro tracks plus.....the shit that came with the Lexicon Omega

Just remember that when you eq an entire mix to fix one problem, you may create another. A good example is when the bass has too much low end and you try to compensate with eq on the full mix. Suffice to say that you're going to thin out the guitars and vocals along with it. Whenever possible, try to fix things before you call it a "final mix"... then use eq very lightly, if needed.

Are there no EQ's on the channels in your software? Or even plugins that you could insert?

[Nick The Man]

Buck: yeah thats what i was talking about....before the final mix

[gordone]

ummm, you get a plug-in, put it on the track you want, and eq it!
Actually, with EQ, most software has "built-in" eq for each channel (N-Track has a nice parametric eq)
Oh wait, if you read the website/manual for your software, you would see this -

Looks pretty straight forward to me. Good luck!

ya, why do you need an outboard? Most plugins you can get will beat any cheap outboard ger for the price.
