Trying for a positive tone... No pun intended. We teach our students to use minimal EQ, usually nothing more than 4 to 6 dB boosting, this helps avoid clipping. If you need to perform extreme EQ, try bumping down the overall level to compensate for the increase in signal energy. Also, negative EQ avoids problems with "comb filtering", and is considered "safer" than boosting frequency ranges. This should be regarded as a suggestion NOT a rule. As always, salt and pepper to taste. Ears, speakers, environments are all different, and even seasoned engineers will get it wrong sometimes. » POSTED IN:
