darth or anyone else????do you know anywhere I could get some info on frequencies? Mainyly for guitars,drums,bass,and vocals. Not for the piccilo and flute and $h!t. My main problem is that I dont know what freguencies to put all my stuff at to get them all to stand out.

That is a cool chart, but you've got to remember one thing in relation to that chart when you're mixing. Any of this instruments will on that chart will produce harmonics far above the range indicated on that chart.

About harmonics:

That chart says a guitar produces notes up to 1000 hz (which is true), but it will produce harmonics well above that. That means if you were to EQ out all the frequencies above 1k you'd lose all the character of the instrument.

Just an FYI since it's related to Marty's question. Marty, you're question is pretty complex. I'm hoping someone has some good pointers to articles on this.

Combine this with the above and you begin to see just how complicated this stuff is and why some still prefer analog "warmth".
