I hav used the bans in the inspector, what I'm talking about is how do you
determine which frequencies your looking for?

In the inspector pane, you scroll up and down through the bands. There,
you'll see things like "band freq = 240hz" and "q = 0.6."

How do you find those frequencies? I have messed around with the 4 bans in
the inspector, but I haven't had any luck with finding frequencies. I have
managed to fit the bass or kick in the mix quite nicely, but I find that I loos
some of the punch.

Hi Nevil.
What i do to maintain the punchiness of a kick drum or guitar or whatever
the sound might be, is to ue integrity of the original sound though.
What do I know about integrity though? (smile)
se compression. i have fine tuned the compression settings for things
like vocals, kick drum, snares etc. and the right ratio of gating will have
these sounds fit nicely in the mix without having them sound to squished or
distorted. The right compression will make a kick drum sound warmer or
fluffier if you like. Too much though and it sounds like caca.
i remember an interview with Butch Vig (Nirvanna and Garbage producer).
he talked about using compression on the entire mix. He said something about
this technique makes his stuff sound better for peeps listening to his stuff
with a boom box. I think he was half joking but it still makes sense at the
same time.
As for the noisiness. I guess you could E Q some of it out if you zoned
in on the right frequencies. or, you could use something like GoldWave which
has some noise reduction effects that I have used with some success in the
past. Too much noise reduction could compromise th

I have 2 questions for all you experts.
1 How do you find unwanted frequencies and remove them? How do you get
the most out of a kick drum or a bass guitar if it's too boomy sounding? I
wouldn't want to remove all the low frequencies, because then it would sound
flat, but at the same time I wouldn't want to overpower the mix.
2 How would I remove hiss from a loop that I downloaded? I would like
to get the most out of these loops, but some of them are messy sounding.
