When an artist paints a portrait, what color do you think he uses most...and with what size of brush?

there is NO magical frequency, Q or gain amount.
USE YOUR EARS

I always take a deep, wide cut from about 2khz-5khz then a big boost shelf at about 10-12khz. YMMV. :)
 
I find myself cutting somewhere between 350 & 800Hz alot...

the "use your ears" comments are always correct but there certainly are a LOT of canned settings in pop recording!
 
300-800Hz is the "mud" of vocals. It is an area you really want to take a close listen to.

2-8KHz is where a lot of harsh stuff happens. But, also where the clarity of vocals comes from.
 
I hate 3kHz with a passion, but it's often just a conflict between hat and vocals. I have tinnitus right at 6kHz, so I leave that alone.

But I would have to say the most cut vocal frequency is a 100 kHz low cut for everything but the low baritone/bass males.
 
The Eq for my vocals is a flat line right across...Trouble is, every frequency that comes out of my voice is so annoying, I end up with a flat line at -12. :)
