Tips
- Cut before you boost — removing problem frequencies is cleaner than adding
- Use narrow Q for surgical cuts, wide Q for gentle boosts
- The 2-5 kHz range is where human hearing is most sensitive
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Q factor in EQ?
Q (quality factor) controls bandwidth — higher Q means narrower band. Q=1 is about 1 octave wide, Q=10 is very surgical.
What frequencies should I cut for clarity?
200-500 Hz muddiness, 800 Hz boxiness, 3 kHz harshness. Cut narrow, boost wide is the general rule.
