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

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...

ok- here goes...

EIK- check this out: http://www.geocities.com/guardrailrockpunk/info/audiolinks.htm
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
