nice post thx,
When EQ'ing a lot you'll find out yourself more specified settings.
Some references I always use for drums:
Snare: the attack is between 100 and 200 Hz, shelving the high frequencies up will add more snares and shelving the lows down will remove some muddy sounds. Often you also hear some annoying frequencies in snares, that depends from snare to snare, and is often situated between 200 and 500Hz. Use your ears.
Bassdrum: Shelving the extreme lows down will rem
ve muddiness. There's an low attack between 50Hz and 100 Hz, and there's also an high attack, often between 1 and 5 Khz. I also often remove some frenquencies b etween 200 and 300Hz.
Always listen carefully to the bass when eq'ing drums. They have to fit together and have to be out of eachothers way.
Oveheads: standard shelving up the highs and shelving down the lows.
But the most important part of eqing is using your ears. There may be rules, but every instrument reacts differentely, so a trained ear is worth a lot more. And mine can still use some training

I feel like an idiot for asking, but how do you know on the knobs where the numbers come in? I've never known that.. The knobs go round and round, but there's no numbers.. I guess that's why I don't know anything about EQs.

Chris...
Give us some more info...
Numbers on a board?? A DAW plugin?? What are you using?
If it's on a board the frequency values will be written on the panel. If it's a plugin you will often have to input the frequency you want to change.

Well right now I'm using a tascam 424 mkIII.. But people always make reference to 'cut 200khz' or 'up 1 to 5 khz' and I don't even know how to reference that to the EQ on a board. Is there a certain standard that all 'low, mid, and high' eqs conform to, or should I just check in the manual per product to see what each are? I'm confused, sorry if I'm confusing you too.

And also, when it says 'the eq shelving point is at ###,' does that mean that's where the eq is when it's set neutral (in the middle), or when it's turned all the way to the right or left..?

I'm not familiar with the Tascam but...
I would assume it has three? set EQ frequencies...a low, mid and high. Check the manual.
If this is the case the frequencies will most likely be APPROIMATELY 80 or 100 Hz for the low...750Hz for the mid....8000Hz for the highs...
This is a guess on what frequencies are set at. Again - check the manual.
When you have set shelf frequencies you can only adjust the amount of cut or boost...somewhat limited for recording.
Cut - lowers the amount of the frequency range and boost will of course raise it.
