I'd like to ask for help or guidance or suggestions. I've been using Reaper for a year or so now and I'm feeling pretty confident with it. That's not to say that I know or understand everything. I still have much to learn with it but at this point I can pretty much accomplish what I want to when I record.
My “ask” has to do with EQ. I realize that I am lacking in knowledge when it comes to adding eq to my tracks. I am able to add enough to make things sound as I want them to sound but that's about it.
I don't understand how to “carve out” frequencies for different things, like vocals and instruments. I don't understand much of what is involved with assigning, cutting and boosting frequencies. I'm guessing that my different musical parts share the same frequencies.
I've spent a life time playing music but now I'm not focused as much on playing (live) as I am recording my music.
I'd like to get better at recording and mixing and I realize that I need to do a better job of “eq”ing my music.
So with all that said I'd appreciate any help, guidance or suggestions anyone is willing to provide. Please be advised that my lack of understanding things leads me to ask other questions.
Thanks,
