Frequency Chart

Yea Glen the other day I noticed the different things such as mud and crunch that were listed at the bottom, those kind of helped as well. It is a good guide to see what things I could try to change when EQing. I don't need to use it as much lately, and I bet I will eventually somewhat memorize it.
 
Yeah, that's not a bad chart at all. I went in there with the attitude of "great, another frequency chart for people to find "how do I eq a ___", but left thinking "actually, that's pretty cool". Some of the interactive stuff and notes are definitely pretty useful, and I think it would be a great tool for people who are trying to get a handle on, as you've brought up, just what, say, 400hz, SOUNDS like on a number of different sources (and eventually on any given source by gereral feel).

It's kind of hard to remember what it was like back when I didn'w know what every frequency range on a guitar track sounded like because I'd never swept a parametric through the spectrum.

Matta,

I think you've hit the nail on the head. Folks who have been around here for a while know how much I disagree with the idea of "recipes" or "presets" or anything else that says you should automatically do this or do that with your EQ or compressor or any other piece of gear in order to get something to sound good, and that's the *last* thing I wanted this chart to pretend to do.

It's not about providing us with answers; it's all about the training our ears to answer our questions for us before they even arise.

GLEN !! its a tad old thread on your great freq chart. Is there any way you can make it a standalone JAVA or Flash module?:D

Not good to have the studio comp on the net- if you know what I mean.

I do. I refuse to put my production PC on net, and my laptop has never even heard of the internet.

As I replied to your PM asking the same thing, I do have general plans to make each of the IRN online resources as standalone applets as well, but that probably won't be for a while; I have several other irons in the IRN development fire I have to finish first.

Just wanted to drop a line saying thanks! This chart is incredibly handy for me. Things are making more and more sense.
 
Pretty darn cool. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from it since I don't have a clue as to what most of it means :o

One thing that surprised me was that a piano goes down below 30Hz. Oh, and I guess I wasn't too surprised but Pipe Organs have an amazing range.
