so ive been looking at some eq recommendations per instrument, and for each instrument they give you what frequency to adjust and in which band. lets take vocals for instance. it says if you adjust your dB in the 150 Hz frequency range then it adds fullness. it also has the ranges and what to adjust to "reduce muddiness, add clarity, add presence, cut sibilances, add air or brightness."
my question is, are you supposed to combine the adjustments of various frequencies, or do you primarily just adjust one frequency? if i had to guess, i would say the former is true and to test out a few combos of my own to see what i like (a best practice would be nice, but i know people dont like the word "best" here). but my problem is that for some instruments, like toms and vox, they give you more than 4 frequencies to adjust and the DAW i use only allows 4 that i know of. maybe i can add more, idk (using cubase LE 4).
