Q

When using EQ to enhance, what is the very basic workflow (and why)

A
  1. Listen
  2. Describe how you hear the sound and what you want to change (using the cheat sheet)
  3. After deciding what to do pull up the EQ and do it
    ==>This makes sure you’ll EQ with purpose
17
Q

Aside from the three major EQ types what special types are common

A
  • Linear Phase (No phase modulation, less processing artifacts like ringing)
  • Dynamic EQ (More a dynamic compressor, can be used to dynamically fix temporary issues or to multiband compress)
