Ok, I've never entirely gotten this...
I've seen a ton of people discuss this around here, how using too much EQ can cause phase issues in a mix. However, I don't think I've heard anyone actually explain what it is they mean by that.
Are we talking about something as simple as EQing the hell out of a bunch of tracks can make things start to sound out of phase with each other/potentially cancel out when collapsed into mono, something like a "phasing" or flanging sound in the mix, or something else?
I'm not a huge EQ abuser, I generally try to get things fundamentally where I want them while tracking and then just clean up a little here and there, so it's possible I've just never run into an over-EQd mix, but for whatever reason I'm having a hard time imagining what that could mean.
Thanks!
