Hi all, first post here
With the endless supply of eq's these days, when it comes to subtractive eq and eliminating harsh frequencies, how many cuts is good practice?
I mean an acoustic guitar for example, you can probably find at least 5 bad frequencies when boosted with narrow Q etc - do you cut all of them? Or just 1 or 2?
I know the ears are the golden rule, but what is common practice - and what is ridiculous over the top cutting?
The big desks usually have 2-3 sweepers - is that enough? Or is that a limitation on the actual hardware?
Cheers
Dan
