It’s very contextual, but less is usually more.Lockdown might be gradually lifting but we’re still far from back to normal and our rave-less weekends are still creating big gaps in our schedules. When reducing the gain – or volume – of an EQ band, you don’t need to be too extreme. Because your melody should stand out, you’d want to cut the pads between 6Hz to carve out some space. Perhaps your melody gets most of its power from the 600-1000Hz range, but your pads also have a lot going on in this range. You’ll also want to see how your melody is interacting with things like pads and chords. You’ll want to make sure none of the other channels in your track have much going on in the sub-150Hz, otherwise they will be crowding space reserved for the kick and bass. (See, we weren’t kidding when we said mixing was just about changing the volume!)ĮQ is important in a genre like drum and bass, where the kick and the bass compete with everything else, including each other, for sonic real estate. As a general rule of thumb, ALWAYS use subtractive EQ (decreasing the volume) before additive EQ (increasing the volume). ![]()
