What is the average freq'y range for ....

[MISTERQCUE]

................normal male vocals?

For EQ boost/cut application purposes.

Thx!

Normal males with BALLS still round, or rock stars with two pairs of Vise Grips attached so they can hit those "Near Mariah Carey" notes?

[MISTERQCUE]

Well more like the freq'y range for male tenor vocs.

I was always taught that vocal are the most difficult stuff to EQ. Too much EQ often makes the voice lose his natural cover.

I personally low shelf often from 150 Hz with my own voice, and give it a bit extra in the range of 1k/2k.

according to "the Art of Mixing",

40-100hz - rumble

100-200 is the fullness

200-800 is muddiness

1000-5000 is the presence (irritation)

5000-8000 is the clarity/crispness w/6000 being the siblance

8000-12000 is the sparkle/hiss

[chessrock]

The bulk of it is typically from 500 hz to 1000.

Some annunciation going on at 2,000 and 4,000.

Siblance at around 5,000-6,000.

And a boost to 12k does add some clarity.
