I guess there are different ways of doing stuff, both ways work, just depends on whether or not you like the results... ----- Original Message ----- From: Studio Montebello To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 9:53 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: 2 questions Well, that's not always the case! The rule is that if you are going to cut down some frequencies, you apply the EQ before compressing. If your increasing the levels of some frequencies, then you apply the compressor before the EQ.

After that, it's just a matter of experimenting by changing around frequencies and band types.

You have to keep messing with the frequencies and gain levels in the bands. Also, are you adding a compressor from the sonitus effects? That helps as well.

I don't have a problem with bass, but I know that it shouldn't overpower the rest of the mix. ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 11:19 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: 2 questions You might want to try and add a high shelf setting in your e q's. Omar Binno ----- Original Message ----- From: neville To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 11:05 PM Subject: [ddots-l] 2 questions 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
