Learning The Frequencies

I've struggled with EQ and understanding frequencies. The obviously dilemma is knowing when to add EQ and when to take it away in your mixes.

Here's a tool that literally trains your ear to a range of sound frequencies. It's called the Simple Feedback Trainer. I highly, highly recommend downloading and working with it if you're like me and have trouble knowing your EQ!

Simple Feedback Trainer

Enjoy

Thanks for that, Les! This is going to be handy.

Here's an article I wrote on the subject as well: Tips for Audio Mixing: Sub-ranges of the Audio Spectrum.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
