Looking For Instrument Frequency Chart

[EIK]

Hi,

I'm looking for a chart that indicates what the approximate frequencies of different instruments should be in a proper mix.

ie.

Drums **Hz - **KHz - Bass **Hz - **KHz etc.

A graphic chart would be nice.

Thanks A Lot,

EIK

I've got one, but not with me- its a photo copy from a class a took a while back- i'll find it scan it and post it- give me a day or 2 to dig it out- unless someone else has somethin....

Thanks Jugalo, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm looking more for a graphical representation of where the instruments sit in the mix, not what different frequencies do to the sound of individual characteristics of instruments.

Thanks though...

I'm not real sure on the author of any of this stuff- it was handouts i got in a recording class when i was at the University of Cincinnati- if anyone know what book this stuff came from i would love to know-

very useful info- but remember- USE YOUR EARS

enjoy-

Hmmm...I have heard people talking abut these 'frequencies' before, but I dont know how to set a given frequency for an instrument.

The alesis PDF says the Electric Guitar should be set to: Body at 250Hz and Clarity at 2.5KHz. Sorry to be stupid, but how does this information convert to practical knob twiddling? Is it in the EQ?

Cheers,

Jono

I think it more a matter of if you feel its lacking or excessive- it gives a starting point for where to tweek- i think its also benificial to know how and where instruments fit into the mix- frequency wise- these arent rules- but general guidlines- of course if we could all track perfectly in the first place, we wouldnt need to tweak - and yeah its in the eq jono- take this info for what its worth- it does not tell you how to record- more what you you are recording- it supplimental information
