Good day everyone!
I use Logic Pro 9 to process my recordings. Right now I am recording an own composition, and since I am still relatively new to recording, mixing and mastering, I have a tendency to experiment a lot with the possibilities.
At the current moment, I am mixing the guitar for my song. It's a singer-songwriter type of thing, I recorded it on a classical guitar because I don't have an acoustic steel string guitar yet. It's a finger-picking piece.
Obviously, I try to get it to sound as good as I can now. In the process I do use a lot of EQ, and I am just wondering whether that's a good thing or not. I end up with a couple of EQs in a single channel. For instance, I open up an EQ first, put a highpass on it, use the peak bands to cut down on the unwanted frequencies, but there are only some 4 or 5 peak bands in a single EQ, so I open up another one to cut out more of the unwanted frequencies. This repeats until I have the signal traveling through some 10 EQs, and then I do the compression and all that follows.
I want to know whether that's ok, or if I should really change that "habit". I actually have a feeling that I am committing some kind of heavy mixing crime here...
I've included a photo so it's easier for you to see what I mean:
Thanks you!
