I'd like advice from experienced people in how you approach EQing.
As an example, say you have a piece of music with two guits, bass, drums, and three part vocals... I would think you need to think about how all these parts are going to sit TOGETHER in the mix. Therefore you can't think of them individually when EQing them. In other words, you need a strategy.
So what to do? Is it a good idea to scan the frequencies of each part before touching anything to find out which frequencies you want to bring out and which ones you want to pull back? Do you take notes so you don't forget? What if you have different musical parts that both have sounds you like, but in the same frequency range? How do you "break the ties?"
Anybody's thoughts would be welcomed.
