EQ has got me stuck right now. I know that this is going to be the next step in my mixing/mastering journey. I feel as if there are some tricks on EQ for a final mix, certian tracks like kick and bass guitar, ect???
One of my biggest problems right now is a classic problem: When I mix a song down on my studio monitors it sounds great. As soon as I put it in my car stereo system, the bass sounds like its going to blow up my whole system. So I'll turn down the bass guitar, but then the instrument is now too low, but the actual bass frequency is still blasting away...
I mentioned this problem while in Guitar Center one day and a couple of guys said "haha, son, someday I'll have to teach you about EQ."
Now I feel like I'm out of the loop?!!? I think I mix pretty well and get good sounds and good levels, but I feel this is an area where I'm just ignorant and I need tips to take me to the next level. Please help!!!
